I believe the tests are designed as worst case senerios.

Yeah right, thats what I do witzh my prints every 
Thursday evening at the Photo Club :-) :-)

I really wonder, who makes these tests up, they 
do not seem to reflect "normal usage" of prints.

However I now have the first few audio CDs 
desintegrating on me, they were "printed" in the 
late 70s and early 80s. The silver is coming off, 
my CD player got contamintated with silver 
flakes. Some CDs are now so warped, they don´t 
fit the CD player "tray" anymore. Thank you. Some 
of the CDs I found are now discontinued, I can 
only get hold of them via (illegal?)exchange servers.

And they told us that CDs would last "forever".

I hope that my scepticism about such claims will 
live forever and hopefully survive me...

Love
Snoopy
