Ok, but it is a done deal. Wilhelm claims 200 years with the pigment print. All I need is a 100. ;-)

Dave,Should have used film and printed on real photo paper. I have a box full of prints that my great grandparents took back in the late 1800's. They have never been taken care of - they have lived in a cardboard box on a shelf in a garage for probably 75 years. Some are at least 120 years old! Yearly temp cycling from below freezing to 110 deg F. They are still in perfect shape. The negs are there also and they too are in very good condition.I re-discovered them this past summer and am in the process of filing and storing them properly.Once I do that they will probably self destruct! ;-) :-) Jim At 04:03 PM 11/12/2007 -0600, Dave Saalsaa wrote:Well at least they are nice and clean now. :-) Sonny, I have a question for you. I am documenting the rebuilding of an vintage stone stable in my home town. We are placing a sealed stainless steel time capsule into the masonry wall. I have printed some shots of the rebuilding of the stable along with a shot of the people who were instrumental in moving and rebuilding the old stone stable. The shots were printed with an HP B 9180 pigment printer on HP archival paper. What is the recommended way to wrap these photos before insertion into the time capsule. The time capsule will be opened in 2107. I am coming back to take shots of the event. ya right. Thanks, and sorry for hijacking your post. ;-)Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: <mailto:sonc.hegr@xxxxxxxxx>Sonny Carter To: <mailto:leica@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>leica@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, November 12, 2007 3:51 PM Subject: Freshly launderedSo, this morning, I took a fresh pair of slacks from the closet. I was putting my belt through the loops and found something in the pocket. It was my leather pouch in which I store two SD cards and a fresh Leica M8 battery. Sure enough, they had been washed and then dried in the electric dryer.I checked the SD cards and they write new images. I put the battery on charge, and after an hour, the yellow light goes out, I try it and it powers up the camera.Don't try this at home, kids. Leave experiments like this to untrained professionals. ;-)-- Regards, Sonny <http://www.sonc.com>http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, Louisiana USA ---------- No virus found in this incoming message.
