Hi,
Many Thanks Gary; yes manuscripts are usually kept covered but I only used these as an example; I've not tried keeping printed postcards in the dark but I do know that whatever medium used whether it be ink or paint will deteriorate in sunshine.
The better quality more expensive inks will last longer which I agree with; this also applies to the quality of the paper.
I'm interested in the screen printing process and a few years ago I experimented using lino blocks to try to stamp radio transfers. I hoped to make a jig then index lino blocks one for each colour allowing me to stamp a transfer but I had trouble transferring the inks. I tried the "Bush" radio logo for my experiments as the design was very simple and only three colours were involved; I then ran out of comfortable working conditions so packed the project in but during my experiments I enjoyed myself.
I'll look forward to you expanding on your printing to glass and Paxolin Gary if you care to add more detail? Glass I can understand but isn't Paxolin oily? I'm always willing to learn.
I too hope the printer manufacturers are taking notice of the problems and will eventually supply cartridges which will give fair service; at the moment they make expensive landfill.
A few years ago a guy posted on a forum explaining he had made some "Alphabet Soup" whilst washing his Ekco A52? dial glass in the sink? I removed the dial from my own A52 and took it along to Staples where I had it copied onto acetate to help out.
Thanks for your good wishes Gary; I do so hope this Canon won't be following the Epson some time soon?
Got to go my brand new; all singing; all dancing; super duper Canon Pixma MG6250 all in one has just arrived; we are going out this afternoon but I'll be playing with it later.
Kind regards, Col.
