The fading occurs on all current media, the differential being the speed at which it occurs... The problem is the cyan dye in the ink..

Ilford Glossy seems to be the best at resisting the shift, but is not waterproof..

It has gotten very good comparative evaluations..

But, it does only up to 8x10...  As an option/alternative to the 870, it's about the best..

HP 970 is up there too..

I would not even consider a 2000P for IR work as even EPSON says it is recommended for B&W printing...
