You can say that again.  I have an Epson 1270 print (you know "the archival
dyes") printed on their Epson Heavyweight Matte paper...was that 50...or was
it 100 years...well the print is about half its original intensity and it
has been 1 year in a very dark studio!  I have another 1270 print that was
output on concord rag...that print was made in April and has been in a
slightly brighter bedroom...the image is almost completely invisible.
That's why we need pigments AND someone to test them.
