They do contain some pigments, but also colored dyes and "lakes" (dyed inert pigment particles). What Bob now does involves real pigments instead; but even those are not all created equal. I'll let Bob authoritatively respond to that in another 200 years.
Cynicism aside, my big roll of Fujiflex Supergloss finally arrived, so it's a good day for me. If those prints look good for the next 30 years, they'll have probably outlasted me. But I'm sure they'll do even better than that. It's a polyester based medium, and allegedly more permanent than their RC color papers; but I like it for its distinctly superior color gamut as well as contrast depth.
