Generally you will find that the Lyson inks have very good longevity - see the Lyson site for their ink fading tests.

Not sure about that paper - have you checked either the Permajet, Marrutt, or mwords sites.
The general research on fading is carried out by Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc (http://www.wilhelm-research.com), which may have some info.


If you display behind glass - out of direct sunlight and maybe use a coating spray - they should last a good proportion of your lifetime.

Hope this helps

Has anyone got any experience of using this ink/paper combination for display prints. The paper contains a UV protection coating, which should help.

I've been using Lyson photonic dye based inks with Permajet Oyster inkjet paper for my portfolio prints for a couple of years.

The prints have not noticeably faded in this time, but have been kept in the dark.

Unfortunately its pretty impossible to find fade test information for any ink/paper combinations other than those the vendor wants to push. There doesn't seem to be much independent information available.
