Yes, Wilhelm rates the Canon Photo Paper Pro at 25+ years. This is not as good as Epson's Archival inks and papers as used on the Epson 2000P, but it is better than the Epson 1280, which is only rated for 25 years using matte paper. The glossy Photo Paper for the 1280 is rated at about 7-8 years I believe. Not too impressive IMHO.
I love the quality (and longevity) of my Epson 2000P, but the Canon might be a path to upgrade resolution a bit. I scan at 4000dpi and like to print at 13"x19". That's results in roughly 300dpi, but I'm not sure my Epson 2000P is benefiting from much over 200-250dpi. The Canon might. And 25 years would be enough for my uses. I'm still wondering if the color profiles are any good, though.

We know what to expect with the Epson. Does anyone have longevity information for the Canon, ie; has Wilhelm tested it?
