I have been using azo dyes, both alone and in multiple exposures with water
color, in archivally processed photo-aquatints with no problems. Oldest
extant print in my collection and hanging on an indriectly sunlit wall was
done in 1984. I had always wondered what the permanence might be, but so far
no owners of my work have called me about fading, or other problems for that
matter. The biggest problem I have is in predicting the final color, but hey,
no two prints are alike by design anyway.
