I basically hold this assumption too, but you know, they never really
increased the longevity of C-prints over the years, and they're dye based.

I wonder if we are expecting too much out of these materials? The rate of
change is enormous for the electronic side of our digital equations, but
inks are analogue, and I just wonder how quickly they'll improve...
