Correct.  I have not fade tested the full "Full Spectrum."  They are based
on the same black as the VM black, which is equal to Piezo black -- which is
excellent.  The Piezo problem is the midtones and the dyes that I think are
thrown in.  (Is there a way on this forum to show the image of the ink dots
that show the Piezo magenta blue-green [dye?] fringe?)

So, while I have not tested the FS inks, I'd expect them to do very well.

By the way, the FS black is so close to Piezo black, that if one sees a
difference is the blacks, it's probably random or a workflow difference.
The Epson driver produces darker blacks than the Piezo driver (not the
Pro24, though).  That is a visible difference.
