Pigment prints have the chance of being more stable than dye transfer prints, but still smear. Endura and CA prints contain stabilzing agents that confer extremely long life on the dyes.
The basis of my comments is the ICIS (International Congress of Imaging Science) short course I took last year, and conversations with Henry Wilhelm personally, along with other discussions here.
It is also based on many years of work in dye stability, and in keeping up with the work and tests run by Wilhelm.
I really wish you would not doubt that when I post something, I base it on my professoinal opinion as a photo engineer that was gained by over nearly 50 years of work in imaging science. I do grant that there are ongoing improvements in all products. Fuji just introduced their CAII paper with even better dye stability, and they presented a paper on the stability at the same ICIS conference last May. So, my knowledge came from the forefront of research.
