Yes, and how does the best from Canon compare to both HP and the new
Epson numbers? I take it all with a grain of salt, but it's nice to know
what my customers are being told and sold.

Epson, once the unquestioned permanence leader, has now fallen behind in
"longevity" of
ink when on display under glass (Wilhelm Research protocols). I checked
the Wilhelm
website to see if there was a new report on the updated Ultrachrome
inkset
"K3>VividMagenta" but no joy there.
From my vantage point, wider gamut is less of a selling point, than
longevity; as many
comment, I've never had the clogging problem. Epson's best inks have
roughly a 65-110
year display lifetime, while HP is now delivering 200+ years for their
premium papers. It
could be said that both sets of numbers are far superior to Fuji Crystal
archive and Dye
Transfer, so what is the problem, but the bar has been moved by Epson
and now we, and our
clients, expect more.
Is there any word of an increase in inkset longevity, with the
reformulated vivid magenta
ink?
