Unlike processes such as the cyanotype, it enables the photographer to produce photographs that are pleasantly brown. Similarly to the cyanotype and the majority of old photographic processes, it enables the photographer to make prints of unsurpassed permanence, even if there is a number of myths surrounding this particular process and questioning everything starting with image permanence. However, they all stem from insufficient knowledge or simply carelessness or simple errors made during the printing. A photograph that has been processed carefully will last for years and years
