Patent applications and the health and safety sheets are the best source to
get an impression what the differences could be.
The last are quite confusing though, probably written that way on purpose.
There's some evidence that at least the Utrachrome Photo Black is the same
as the Archival Black but that is obsured in the health sheets. AFAIK the
Dura-Brite inks do not have the acryl encapsulation of the pigment particles
like the Ultrachrome and Archival inks have. There's a patent with a lot of
Japanese names in it (but not Epson) that describes an ink that sets itself
well on cheap papers. Must be the Dura-Brite origin I guess. No URL's as I'm
writing this on another system.
