Canon's Ad and the Fine Print

[david b]

I was flippiing through a recent copy of Martha Stewarts' Living (don't ask) and came across a Canon photo ad with the headline "Here's a photo that will last."

Then it says "ChromaLife 100 inks and genuine Canon photo paper, you end with...photos that can last a lifetime*."

Now the fine print...

* "Lifetime claim based on accelerated testing by Canon in dark storage under controlled temperature , humidity, and gas conditions, simulating storage in an album with plastic sleeves."

Then it goes on to say...

"Canon cannot guarantee the longevity of prints; results may vary depending on printed image, drying time, display/storage conditions and factors."

So what happens when you print one and hang it on the wall?

"Chromalife 100" wow, now that is an impressive new name huh? I need to start registering domain names and try to anticipate some of the ones which have not been invented yet. Maybe:

Hyperiachrome gt100
Archivachrome vx500
Liquafinity ultra
Ecoperm 10,000
Pigmachrome sx188
