Michael:

Yes, I have heard about the Epson printers being archival with their inks. (Wish I had one!) I also agree with you that a print would last much longer than the standard ink jet printers. I have seen a lot of artists using those standard ink jet printers and then framing their work. Give it a few years and the ink will probably fade.

I have seen prints from the Epson printer and they are great! I have also read that they last for 75-100+ years too.

Thanks for the added info about the archival prints.
