I have averaged 1,000/month for about 8 years using Kodak dye sub at $2.20 
each, so this paper with ultrachromes at 70% off will add to my bottom line 
hugely. I do event photography and Santa photos. All final product. Essentially 
replace Polaroid in those markets, which is why I got digital to start with. Use 
semi-matte Epson or Lexjet with Lacquer Mat coating or Roll lamination for 
Portrait Wedding work, or I just print from a Noritsu laser onto 12x18. I do my 
own profiles.

They will last longer than Kodak Xtralife dye sub, I'm sure. Bronzing is not 
a big issue with this paper as much as others and most people can't see it. 
They just want a good expression on their kids.
