Sorry if I confused things.  The most light-fast black in my fade testing is
the EPSON UC Matte black.  I do not think it is necessarily the best black,
however.  It is very warm.  It is also a non-coated pigment, which will
probably make it fade relatively faster than the coated pigments in real
world situations.  The light-box faders dry the pigments and eliminate the
moisture that catalyzes the oxidation & fading.

I have the PiezoTone Museum K and MIS's latest high-load matte black in the
fader now.  I'll know more this Friday.
