Now THAT is what i was talking about (in printers group), when someone
claimed Epson photos last over 100 years, while Canon's only a few years...
They state which paper was used with Epson, they tested several HP's, but
they test only one Canon, and they didn't even wrote which paper they
used...while paper is MORE important than ink itself. I'm not Canon lover, i
just owe one (that's why i must talk for it) and Canon web site claims their
top range paper (Photo paper Pro PR101) have life expectancy over 100 years.
Sure, if you print on normal supposely "photo" paper, photo will fade after
a few years.

I still claim lab photos last longer...and are cheaper.
