Robert,

I agree with you about dyes and all, yet it is interesting that the Gen4 set
has a higher Wilhelm rating, 100+ years then the UltraChromes at this point.
I was also under the impression that the UltraChromes were a pigment/dye
hybrid. We always seem to get conflicting reports. You have heard of a 0.3
density drop in 3 months and Jerry reports no problems after 2 or 3 years.
Confusion abounds!
