Anything for the last couple of years fades. I was stuffing a board last night and was
fuming about their fading labels when I ran across a pack of components I had failed
to re label with my Sharpie. I did a LOT work with printing systems for a major
multinational for many years and this type of thing doesn't have to happen.
