To be more specific the color neg; not the monochrome.

At our rental color lab they will tell you what happens when one brings
back a color neg to print only a few years later.
UN manageable color cross overs and shifts.
This makes a big impression on me 

	but with XP2 there is only one layer.
So there are not different layers to fade at different rates creating
these cross over and shift problems.

The very slight fading of one layer is perhaps a non issue.
But i don't know that for sure. It may be an issue.

I print from my negs some of which are 35 years old.
Those are Tri X negs not XP2.
If they were XP2 would they be printable?

I'm 50 50 on that. It's just guessing.
