Because, IMO they are not an archival ink set...and are being sold as one.
I also didn't consider the Epson 1270 inks a real archival option.  Perhaps
this doesn't matter to you...but I have watched too many 1270 prints
disappear before my eyes in my dark studio.

That's a shame because the MIS FS-N is absolutely stunning on either Epson
Premium Luster or Brightcube Semi-Matte.  Spraying is easy with these
papers.  Get ready to see a silver print with a dmax of 2.2.
