Hello
I have a client possibly interested in purchasing several 40x65 prints from me done with PiezoPro inks on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 188, and she asked me how long the prints will last. The prints would be installed in a large lobby with many floor to ceiling windows, so I assume bright illumination but not direct sunlight.
When I look on the Aardenburg site, the only carbon/selenium inks sets I see are called Piezotone from 2009. On a 9800 the Aardenburgh test indicate Piezotone inks have a display rating of 88 Megalux hours or approximately 44 years in an average bright room.
Are Piezography Pro inks the same as the tested Piezotone from 2009? Should I expect them to have the same fade characteristics?
I print on the slight cool side with the Piezography inks. Should I then expect less of a density change and more of a color shift toward the warm carbon color over years of exposure?
Thanks, Drew Harty
