The longevity is of course based on the ink you're using. If you are 
using any of Epson's own dye based inks, then the fading may not be a 
problem. On most Epson paper products, the packaging states which 
printers (and by that they mean inks used by those printers) the 
paper is meant to work with.

I've been using a third party ink set (WeInk) in a CIS, and while I 
have no fading problems on HWM or water color stocks, on the Greeting 
Card (aka Glossy Photo Paper) there is a problem in high ozone 
environments. I don't live in such a location, but friends in Florida 
who I sent photos to report the images turn pink in less than two 
months. I suggest you do a window test, or if you know someone in 
Florida you can send a print to....

By the way, the Greeting Card stock is scored for folding and has 
tear off edges, so Epson isn't clearing out inventory. The Greeting 
Card paper is actually great for those ephemeral products - xmas 
cards or the occasional birthday card.
