I remember reading in an issue of Popular Photography's digital issue that some places offer the option ofputting digital photography to a negative so it can be anlarged on some good old AGFA Semi-matte (among every other paper). This is a great idea, as ink from printers will fade a lot quicker than something printed onto some nice fiber paper. Any thoughts...... Alpha?

So how does this work again. You send in a digital picture and it is photographed onto a negative. Then from there it can be printed onto normal photo paper? Seems completely dooable. But also a lot of trouble. Still I think you're right it should last longer than typical printer inks. Does anyone know how long dye sublimated pictures last? Those pictures should be pretty robust.

injet prints, while I don't know the exact lifespan, expect an RC Print ot last longer under the same conditions. Glad to have my pack of ilford fiber paper...

Ckeckout digital-fineart@yahoogruops for unending discussions of archival prnting of digital images. I'll research the digital to film process. It has been done for years to get microfilm images direct from a computer. I have not experienced color negative or positive transfer. Technically it shoud not present a problem.

I use an HP 1220 printer, and got bulk "archival" ink system for it, and it works great. Since the ink is archival it suposedly doesn't fade, and from what I have seen so far, it's true. -Gabe-
