This is just not correct.

Light isn't the problem, oxidation is. Developers are the chemicals most affected- if you're only working occasionally, store those in glass. Stop...

I purchased a 24" BenQ last year that currently sells for $399 from B&H, and I think that it's an excellent monitor. I have the X-Rite I1 Display...

PM sent.

My bride sewed me a dark cloth about 20 years ago from leftover fabric. It still works fine. The white side is a little stained now but that's OK...

There are slight differences in curve structure and grain due to different developers and how much they are diluted, agitation, time, etc. But all...

+1 for the Vivitar 283 or 285.

Years ago I exchanged a few emails with Silvia Zawadski and Dick Dickerson of KODAK, who were the inventors of XTOL. They told me that they created...

The science can get complicated - and beware of mountains of bad information out there - but it is best not to make more out of this than necessary...
