Subject: Photocopy toner
Regarding the inquiry on photocopier toner: Within the past year I took a passing look into the issue of photocopy permanence. My impressions are that black toner is stable (at least as stable as the paper base) if it is properly fused to the paper. Therefore, the photocopier needs to be properly tuned to achieve correct fusing temperatures. Beyond that, I would speak to Gary Frost BookLab, Inc. 1606 Headway Circle Suite 100 Austin, TX 78752 512-837-0479 512-837-9794 I spoke to him last year on this topic. He is knowledgeable and very helpful. Paul Messier Conservator of Photographs and Works on Paper 77 Griggs Rd.
