We suggest printing three copies of an image. Keep one as a control, and cut the other two in half. Wash one half of one image with the method you intend to use, then compare it with the other half. Place one half of the other image in strong sunlight for a week or more to test for fade resistance. In our experience, dyebased prints will fade slightly in strong light.
