Prints on my wall still look new after 5+ years. Unfortunately it seems that Ilford have now discontinued these papers except in A4. Although I was very pleased with my dye-based B&W they did suffer from some metamerism. I thought that this was a generic problem for dyes because black dyes begin to transmit in the deep red and become almost transparent in the infrared. This was certainly true of the Lyson inks which had a slight red cast in low-temperature tungsten illumination. Are the dyes being talked about here immune to this problem?
