I am reminded of a set of definitions I heard a number of years ago in a
"motivational speech" by Al Maquire, former coach of Marquett University
basketball team. By the way, most of the t's are silent.
An amateur is one who don't know and don't know he don't know.
A semi-professional is one who don't know and know he don't know.
A professional is one who know and know he know.
I would expect anyone who says "well, the pros do it this way..." to be an
amateur.
On another subject, I've had an Epson 1270 for over a year now, with prints
hanging on the walls, unprotected, no glass, no plexiglass, no spray for
most of the year. I can't say that they have not faded, but there certainly
is no color balance problem. They are printed on a variety of inkjet-coated
art papers, not Epson gloss.
