100 years typical home, 200 years dark storage, per Kodak. Same as non-metallic.

Keep in mind that's using the display conditions Kodak researched, not the WIR methodology used for most inkjet papers. It's not an entirely invalid rating system, but it does prevent an apples-to-apples comparison.

Doesn't Wilhelm consider the Kodak figures to be over inflated by 300%? Don't suppose anyone knows what the Wilhelm figures on Endura are?
