Canon uses dye inks AFAIK rated at about 25 years on Canon papers. When
you use other papers all bets on longevity are off (even though the
prints may look great).

Consumer Reports (that great source of photographic info... ahem!) did
some tests recently and reported "some fading" under their extremely
accelerated tests (unlike the Epson Ultrachromes, which showed none).
Wilhelm has not yet published data on the new 6-ink Canons, but some of
these printers (like the 9000) are "next" to have data published
according to the Wilhelm website (I just checked).
Of course, if anyone has any field experience they'd like to share...

Dear Armand
These are my findings.
Canon 2200 and Canon gloss paper under proofing lighting 24hr x 21 days,
just a loss of 2 points of M and 4 of Y measured with an Xrite-DTP22.
Same ink/paper combination under constant daylight/sunlight alongside a
Kodak RA4 print. Prints taped to card and positioned 2" from single
glass west facing window. UK location. Six weeks and the Kodak
shows almost no visual change but the Canon print has lost a lot of C
and is not usable for display purposes. From memory it was still OK at
two weeks but showing signs of fading.
Hope this helps.
Richard
