It was a metal drawer in an all metal office desk.  In that same 
drawer are hundreds of photographic prints, some dating to the 
1960's, which are all perfectly fine.

Sure.  But at least we KNOW what the variables are.   The problem 
with inkjet technology is that we DON'T KNOW what all the factors are 
that affect them.  These kinds of reports of inket prints, or just 
the paper, suddenly making dramatic color changes are all over the 
web.
