Wilhelm has rated the ultrachrome pigments (9600) on cotton rag papers at approx. 70-80+ years for full color prints and >100 years for B&W prints on the same papers with the same inks. The B&W prints were made using the color inks, not black only. I may have missed the fine print, but why the difference?
