The ColorVantage inks are described by PANTONE as "archival quality
pigmented inks."
Has anyone compared their longevity and colorfastness to that of the
UltraChrome K3 inks?
And where is the gamut wider? In which color range?
Could anyone please send me 2 profiles offline, one of the ColorVantage inks
and another one built with UltraChrome K3, both on the same paper and using
the same instruments and profiling software?
Thank you.
