  Happy Birthday, Keith! I returned an et 4850 I recently purchased and picked up the et 8550 based off your videos. I could not be happier, &nbsp;it&apos;s an amazing bit of kit. Thank you for putting out all of these vidros, I&apos;m learning a lot and am enjoying the process.

  Another awesome video Keith, pulling back the cover on how long a print will last. The environment the print is in is so important and how it is displayed (ie framed, seal frame, uv glass). Thanks so much for doing the video, really appreciated!!

  Happy Birthday Keith!!!!! I really enjoy your channel and videos, you have a wealth of knowledge on printing. &nbsp;At 51 years old, I think about that myself as far as archival prints go, for me 30 years of archival is probably sufficient. &nbsp; &nbsp; If I’m selling a print I am more concerned with a longer archival life.

  The best thing about making &quot;archival&quot; prints is that it helps one contemplate one&apos;s mortality and the significance of one&apos;s work in the great scheme of things. These thoughts are either liberating (life is just play if it doesn&apos;t matter that much) or depressing (oh what&apos;s the point). You get to choose which approach you take 😉. Nice perspective Keith.

  I know nothing about photography, but I love fixing and printing OLD family photo for my kids and greatgrand children. They are always asking questions. I just bought the Epson ET-15000 printer and for my everyday use and pictures I love it. I do love listening to you about pigment vs dye and the different papers. I am not buying archival paper but I have learned some useful information even for my casual level of printing. Thank you very much.
