Epson DuraBrite Ultra™ Spring 2006 Click for test details and specific methodology

DuraBrite Ultra is used in the newer "C-series" Epson printers. It is a pigment ink.

Paper Estimated Print life
(no glass protection)
62lb. UltraPro Satin† 51+ years *
50lb. Premium Matte 51+ years *

*This round of tests simulated exposure for 51 years. A result of over 51 years means that at the time the test was terminated, no appreciable fade was recorded.

† UltraPro Gloss was not tested directly. However, it is made from the same base stock as UltraPro Satin without the luster finish on its surface.

Summary

The point of this test was to confirm the durability of Epson DuraBrite Ultra inks. We are satisfied that they are indeed pigmented and will last many decades on basically any inkjet media you pick.
