(IOW, in my initial post here, which I am now realizing you weren't responding to, I should have specified that TY's dye composition/mfr process lives on, somehow, under CMC. I realize now that the way I phrased it in my reply to you sounded ambiguous. Carry on)

In any case the theme in this thread seems to be 'dye matters, and proper storage matters quite a lot as well'.
