In fact, I wonder if paper negs made from such a printer would last long enough to
a ray of sun. ;-)

For the "Nederland Naarden Fotofestival" under our pale sun of May, 12 of our students made wax-prints (jet technology). One was hanging outside as a poster (130x180cm). After two weeks this plastic laminated wax print was seriously fading.
For the same exhibition I printed a couple of invitations with my HP inkjet on watercolor paper. It looks great. One of those invitations stayed 3 weeks in my car (sur la planche à chapeaux). The same thing happened.
