David, I would very much appreciate your advise on the following questions. On the Lyson site they claim 65 or 55 years for Fotonic ink on Arches 140 cold pressed. Unfortunately this paper is causing problems in my Epson 3000 printer. I would like to use the lighter Arches 90 lbs. cold pressed paper or the Arches 140 lbs. hot pressed. Can I assume that the longevity would apply to these papers as well as the 140 lbs. cold pressed? I am wondering if the Arches paper and ink combination will produce (with custom profiles) the same vibrant prints as are possible on Somerset Velvet.
