I'm thinking about moving to digital capture but am concerned that even if I send my digital images to a pro lab to be printed they won't have the same lasting power as prints from film.

Do pro labs use the same methods for printing both from digital and film these days?

Any advice welcome.

I just had some prints done by PhotoBox, very good they were too.....They quote 150 years fade resistance?
What truth there is in that I've no idea, but that's certainly a lot more than I've had in the past on some other papers!

I'm sure they have some way of testing it Ellis....LOL
Has to be better that some of the shots I have on photographic paper here that have faded noticably after a period of 10-15 years. And I might add have been stored in cool conditions in the dark?
