Wilhelm Imaging Research

is probably the authority on photographic print image fading. Wilhelm Research 'years' are quoted relentlessly by printer manufacturers to assure us that their papers won’t rob you of your crisp and colourful photos prematurely.

But just who is the person behind Wilhelm Research – a Wilhelm, presumably? Indeed, Henry Wilhelm, of Grinnell, Iowa, is the down to earth and unassuming mastermind behind the company that bears his name.

Photo deterioration has been a lifetime’s passion for Henry Wilhelm. That passion and accumulated knowledge is a valuable resource for big name printer and paper manufacturers.

The Wall Street Journal interviewed Henry Wilhelm last month. I’ve just happened across the article and it’s good read, with some nice anecdotes, if you are interested in the human side of the Wilhelm phenomenon.
