When I was doing a lot of home printing I did the fade test to see how long prints would last. Forget the early dye inks, they fade in five minutes, especially if you do not use same brand paper with same brand ink. Pigment is better but oh the clog problems seemed to use up way more ink than actual printing.

The little Canon dye-sub (Selphy line) prints seem to last forever, I left one print half covered near a window for close to a year getting direct sun though the glass and the exposed part only changed a little, so the 100 years claim (if stored carefully in acid free album) would easily be achieved.

Hi, I was planning to get a little Selphy portable printer to take with me when travelling to Asia sometime next year, to give out photos to some people I've taken portraits of. However I was concerned about how long the photos would last for. Are you saying that the Canon portables with the Selphy brand will all have this good long life for prints?
