It isn't so specific on the website as they said it at the
introduction but reading between the lines helps in this case:

What I also miss is a reference to a pigment ink variety, maybe
their conclusion became later on the same as mine then.

Checked the prospect papers and proof sheets that I got (24
months ago exactly) and there they wrote it was compatible with
pigment printers like the Epson 9500.

With emphasise on dye ink and better fade properties it gets more
and more similarity to the FutureWales claims.

I must have some normal Bockingford aquarel paper (non inkjet)
and I still have a dye printer, could try that out. Wilhelm
tested Iris dye inks on normal aquarel papers like Arches quite
favourably, it can't be that history repeats itself ;-)
