See my challenge to Bob Walkden. Go ahead prove your statement. While you are at it send me one of those 75 year old prints too. A couple of years ago Epson said their prints were stable for 75 years. The reds turned orange in 6 months. Admittedly they are better now, but you can't prove one has lasted more than a couple of years because the current dyes have only been used that long.
