Would that not be an (strong) argument for the use of UV-cut instruments
if one is using paper with OBA? I guess one would need to take into
account the specific decay time of the fluorescent dye, but in the long
term the UV-cut instrument may actually proof the more accurate one,
since it measures the future response to light of the paper (I know I'm
ignoring the effect of ink-fading by saying this...).
To be honest, I never gave the effect of ink-fluorescence much/any
thought, but given your posts it seems it might be yet another factor in
determining ink permanence... Somebody with a fluorometer could make an
interesting hobby project out of this, to create a database with OEM and
3rd party ink performance.
Kind regards,
