This is under Epson's feature list for the pigmented ink version 
of the Epson 10000. I also could not find any other information 
under that URL that they send you to for further info.

Using our newest EPSON Archival Ink Technology, your prints 
will not only look brilliant, but have a lightfastness rating up to 
200 years under glass.**


** Ink lightfastness rating, based on accelerated testing of prints 
on specialty media, displayed indoors, under glass. Actual print 
stability will vary according to ink, media, printer engine, printed 
image, display conditions, light intensity, humidity, and 
atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee longevity of 
prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or 
lamination or properly store them. For the latest in lightfastness 
information, refer to www.prographics.epson.com.
