That, "stable" question, sir, is the sixty-four-thousand dollar 
question. There is no short answer for this. I would say, honestly, 
that NO ONE knows for sure, not even Wilhelm. Inkjet printing is 
still in its infancy and even though tests are being done, "stable" 
is just too tough a word to guarantee. Ten years, fifty years, a 
hundred years; and how will they be stored/displayed once 
they're purchased from you?

Welcome to the jungle.
