Sounds like they've done a good job.

I thought I had Generations color pigs controlled for a while also.
However, with my experiment it didn't last.  Weeks later the prints didn't
look good at all.  Also, my 1160 couldn't print consistently enough to hold
the neutral profile I'd come up with.  (I expect a 7000 might be more
consistent than the 1160.)

Let us know how they look in different light sources and after a few days in
the sun.  I have no doubt that ultimately the color inksets will be so good
that's what we'll be using.  I'd be surprised if that day is here for those
wanting to do long-lasting B&Ws.
