Yes, 25-30 years at 2Mlx-hr/yr.

Yes they are not pigment-based.  They are dye-based inks.  They use
archival-quality dyes, which have 25-30 years before noticable color change
in the image, and, 70+ years with the FA+>Y inkset used in IRIS printers.
Same dyes, twice the glycol in the E inkset.

Pigment-based inksets can have 100+ years stability.
