I did this torture test to a color print from the Epson 2000p..... I put a
skillet on the stove with an inch of water in it...brought it to a
boil....tore a rejected color print in half and dropped it in the boiling
water.... to my surprise, the print did run a bit when I rubbed it with my
finger (after removing it from the boiling water ..of course). However, a
lest drastic test of placing the other half of the print under a faucet with
the hot water running for a minute and at the same time rubbinig the surface
with my finger showed no deterioration....after removing the print from the
water I dried it with a kitchen towel, laid it on the counter and in a minute
or so it looked perfectly dry and undamaged.
So I have concluded that I will from now on cook my prints in a skillet and
try to get them qualified as Alt-Photo. I just have to come up with a
catchy title for the "process."

really is! :-) >>
