The Canon "Photo Paper Pro" was the worst in fade resistance. This was during a time when the Epsons were getting a bad name for their print fading. The Kodak paper (which I do not think is produced like it was back then) was surprising better with the Canon and Epson dye based inks. Of course the pigment based inks the newer class printers use are supposed to be much better in fade resistance.
