Aardenburg tests include the Dmax patch, and thus fairly reported the problem with the Cli-8 black ink. Canon's claims of 20+ year light fastness for that set were done with tests which didn't include any black or near black color patches, hence the black ink performance was ignored, hence the claimed longevity ratings were much higher than deserved. The black ink in the original Chromalife 100 dye set is by far and away the weak link in the set.
But any insight into the fade resistance nature of original Chromalife inks would be appreciated. Not hoping for a response to all the issues I raise here.

Would I get comparable longevity/ fading results from this printer if I just filled it wIth third-party inks vs old using oem cli-8 cartridges? Or are old chromalife oems still better than modern third-party refills?ĭo you think i can reasonably expect at least 10-hour megalux fade resistance from unsprayed modern papers like canon pro luster (on which newer chromalife plus scores 50 megalux hour fade resistance)? But are chromalife inks better in fade resistance than third-party dye refills? Aardenburg did 3 tests on the inks, but 2 of them were on swellable paper (which gave amazing fade resistance of well over 20 megalux hours, but I don’t use swellable) and one on paper long-out of production (which had bad fading results of 1-3 megalux hours). Now, I know original chromalife ink’s fade resistance is incomparably worse than pigments and worse than chromalife 100 plus.
As good or better than the other two modern printers. I use it only for casual prints to give away to friends in my country retreat. Among my printers (that include pro-100 and p600), I have an older 9000 II that uses original chromalife 100 inks.
