Digital BW, The Print

Carl, sorry for this rather late reaction re Diasec.
I've been making Diasec montages for many years.
Diasec is basically meant for commercial purposes, expo's, office or shop
decoration etc and is said to extend the live of photo material +/-  3
times. 
I do not consider it archival because Diasec's are made in a very acid
environment  So, don't use it for your precious prints unless you accept
discoloration say after 3 to 5 years.

Jean.

B&W inkjet prints on matte papers?  Here is some discussion about
