Well, actually, Wilhelm has come forward to confirm
some of the lousy life-predictions for Epson media.

But they weren't as bad as some here claim, and 
surprisingly, they weren't that much worse than
some supposedly "archival" inks costing much more.

A few of us on this list have had reasonably good
luck (longevity-wise) with Epson media; I'm among those.
But I'm not exactly torture-testing my prints.
