I use mainly Red River paper and OEM papers when printing. This was about 2 years ago and I love the color prints I get off of it. Eventually it fell apart and I moved on to the Canon printer because I had heard good things about it. I used QTR to get some really nice BW images. I have been printing since the Epson 2200 first came out (2004?) Loved that printer! I ran MIS Inks through it for years. Most gloss-type "plastic" papers are not imho really a suitable media to use. Dye inks can survive well - provided the paper is OK. Obviously, pigment inks are the best ins sense of avoiding fading but even then, the paper is still important, so consider that further - your step mentioned (I am running a test where I printed on Red River Polar Matte and will see which one fades faster) seems a good one to start with. Paper was Canson Watercolour, which I use as always my first choice. I made a family A3 print about 15 years ago - has been in a frame for all that time in quite a bright room area and no signs of fading. The paper is probably the most important element, rather than the actual dyes themselves.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? The paper was some cheap Kirkland (Costco) branded glossy paper that I bought a couple years ago but I can't believe even the cheapest papers would fade this fast. I made another one for comparison today and you can see the difference. I know that dye printers fade faster than pigment but this is crazy! This is in indirect bright light. Came back to it today and it had noticeably faded.

I have never experienced anything like this with either the older or the newest ink set for the pro-100 from PC.
