I can tell you that Entrada printed with Lyson Fotonics fades after  
several months to maybe a year, max.  I printed a series of art  
posters for a friend, with the admonition that she put them behind  
glass.  For the folk-art look of them, however, she declined, and  
hung them without glass on her wall, no direct sunlight.  They are  
quite noticeably faded now.  I believe this to be much more a  
function of the dye ink, though,  than the paper itself.  I have some  
other prints out open printed with UCs on various matte art papers  
that still look fine after a few years.
