My tests and all I know indicate pigments are much better than dyes on the
types of media generally preferred on this forum.  The Iris images are not
renowned for their lightfastness -- rather the reverse from what I heard
from some serious galleries the last time I asked.  

Dyes do best on special media with swellable coatings.  Even on these they
are not nearly as good as the carbon pigments used by most here on the rag
and glossy papers we use, according to my tests comparing them side by side.

So, I would take the implications of what the web page above says with a
grain of salt.
