Description
This photograph of home-grown tomatoes was printed in October 2004 on an EPSON Picture Mate printer in a cynical attempt to refute EPSON's claims that they had developed a non-fugitive red ink, in other words one that did not fade when exposed to sunlight. The print was then left in the open in a south-facing window for six years. It was scanned in November 2010, over six years later, and is completely unretouched, enhanced or colour corrected in any way. It is a triumphant vindication of EPSON's claim. The marks and scratches have been caused by several cat attacks over the years.
