OT: Epson Claria dye ink fade test results

If anyone has one of these new printers, and lives in the south where 
the sun still shines so that you can do a south window test, I would be 
willing to make the measurements. The heavy weight matte paper results 
are a little unbelievable at 97 Wilhelm years. Remember that Claria 
inks are dye based! I'll trade custom color ICC profiles for your 
efforts. Since I don't own either of these printers, and I live in the 
now darkend north, there is little point to me attempting the testing 
on my own. It would best best to use an R380, since they did not test 
matte paper with the Picturemate.
