I wonder if anyone on this list has the wherewithall to do simple
accelerated aging testing. The tests shold be similar to those for
conventional printing paper since the image is silver.
Generally this is done by baking the samples in an atmosphere of hydrogen
peroxide in high humidity. I don't know the details but they should be
available. I believe there is an ISO standard for this testing.
It also occurs to me that the same sort of toner treatments which protect
conventional silver images might work on Kallitypes. Has anyone tried
something like Kodak Brown Toner to see if its an effective toner for
Kallis?
