As you have a spectro you could do a simple dry down test that will show
you the change over time and allow you to decide at which point they
have stabilised enough for you. By printing primary and secondary
swatches on the media you are interested in and measuring them at
regular intervals you can calculate the delta E value. I find Gretag
Macbeth's compare function in Measure Tool a godsend when I'm doing dry
down tests.
