I've been reading this thread, and I have a new Epson R2400 printer.
A couple of days ago I made an 8x10 color print on Epson Premium Luster 
photo paper using the R2400 with K3 inks. I let it dry for 1 hour, and then 
I put it in a casserole dish in my kitchen, added warm soapy water, and 
soaked it for 2 days. Last night I took it out of the casserole dish, rinsed 
it, and put it in the print-drying rack in my darkroom.

This morning I went to look at it, and you could never tell to look at it 
that it had soaked for 2 days. Good as new. And in the judgment of my family 
members, it is indistinguishable in terms of quality from the Fuji Crystal 
print I had made of the same negative last week.

This isn't Hahnem?hle paper, this is Epson paper, but it's all the same ink.
My darkroom is probably going to be collecting more dust.
