I like the concept.

See: http://www.buschmancorp.com/faq.asp  for a good diagram.

Definitely, keep printing and don't go crazy with this stuff.

I pursue longevity issues, in part, because of the enjoyment I get out of
the learning in and of itself.  In the meantime, I continue to print on EAM
because I like the looks of it for my type of photos.  So far, everyone is
very happy with the results.  I'm not charging (or selling) so much that I
feel I have to make a print that will last 500 years.  Collectors are not
flocking to my door.  For my museum work I'll use cotton paper for archiving
and EAM for display.  They can have two copies with all the disclosures
about the limitations of the technology.
