In March 2004 I fade tested the HP B&W ink on HP, Ilford Classic Pearl, and
Kodak's latest paper at the time.  They were all close, with the HP paper
having a very slight edge in the midtones, and Kodak having a slightly
better dmax after the fade test.  (The Ilford 100% patch actually increased
in density, but it was significantly lower to start with.)  I generally
concluded the swellable papers on the market are close to the same and all
very good considering the inks are dyes.  (They are still not in the same
league with carbon, however.)
