Note that Sandy recommended a thickness of two tenths of a mm.  Regarding
longevity, carbon transfer printing, a very old means of making photographic
prints, consists of a layer of gelatin with suspended carbon particles on a
substrate.  There are prints made with this process that are well over 100
years old, and they're doing fine.  For info on carbon transfer printing,
