You're probably right. I used an 8 x 10 which I didn't care about: not a 
custom print, but a commercial enlargement. Fuji material, though that 
does not necessarily mean much. But even in the higher end, chemicals 
change throughout a batch, the batches of emulsion change, etc. All 
things being optimal, I would normally expect a properly-done negative 
("C") print to survive longer than an Epson inkjet using manufacturer's 
inks. But sometimes we are surprised by reality...
