I consider the Kodak RA4 paper to be the minimum standard for supply of
display prints to clients. As a matter of interest, a test we carried
out some time ago which started at the beginning of a hot UK summer, the
Kodak sample was showing signs of fading at the end of 4 weeks, the
Ilfochrome (Cibachrome) was looking poor after about 24 weeks and the
emulsion was peeling off the support soon after, whereas the Fuji print
went on for about 72 weeks before it was not good enough to display.

Yes, I find that many of the longer lived gloss and luster inkjet media
will reach a point where the coatings are brittle and prone to crazing
and easy delamination by the time pigment inks reach significant fade
levels in window tests. UV seems the be the cause, as other testing
methods don't get this type of result. This occurs in about two months
of local window time, which would equal about a month in Arizona, or a
year in Britain <G>.
I am not sure CD if you are aware that the Kodak and the Fuji papers
were not ink jet but RA4 (conventional photographic colour prints)
Just wanted to clear up any uncertainty in anyone's mind!
