I’m wondering whether anyone out there knows whether these prints will retain their colour?  I’m happy for them to degrade over time, but I would love it if the subtle and beautiful range of colours endures.

First prints from the new plates.

Here are details of the first prints from the plates I made a few weeks ago from hand drawn toner washes on transparent film. I usually print them first in black, then decide how I am going to develop them to make the most of the imagery. In this case, I printed in Charbonnel Paynes Gray water wash ink.
There are six in all, and another two to come.
