I'm going to make a set of prints on 13 x 19 as the "archival" storage medium for the museum project I seem to always be working on.  I looked at the various options for printing and, while glossy had the best signal to noise ratio, a cotton paper was chosen for permanence.


I wonder how the collectors look at all of this.  Will our really good carbon on cotton prints have more value if there is NO forever backup?
