Before I forget,

In testing inks and dyes recently, we ran the Epson 1280 Lightfast 
black through a densitometer. The density measured over 2.1! I don't 
recall the exact density as it may have been closer to 2.2.

In comparison on H. Torchon I think Antonis measured the black at 
1.67 or something close.

I really have to agree that although 25 years is not really adequate, 
if Epson gets their dye rating to 50-75 years then we have a whold 
new ball game.

Perhaps a new lightfast (Durabrite) quad black dyes set would be cool 
to mess with. I think that Lincolns Quads are dye based inks if I 
remember correctly. Anyone used them?
