Sorry my statement was misinterpreted. What I meant was that watercolors
CAN have problems, too, not that all do. All forms of art have permanence
problems, as note all the reconstructions done by galleries. OTOH, I have
never seen a faded platinum print, though I'm sure any made on bad paper
would show deterioration.
