Also for the record, I am totally committed to working in digital 
and inkjet. Going back to silver has never crossed my mind. So 
I'm here to stay; now the work is to come upon the best 
combination.

So, for now, can we all, as a group, create one or two sentences 
that sum up a very general "best approach with current 
materials"?

"Best longevity when printing with inket printers: 100% 
pigmented ink, printed on acid-free, 100% rag paper that 
contains no optical brighteners or buffers, followed by a spray of 
protective coating after printing."

Brand Names with these traits:

(Most Stable Papers):
Epson S/T Fine Art, Museo, HawkMtn (some), ____?____,

(Most Stable Inks):
Indellible, Piezo, ColorPiezo, ____?____,

(Protective Sprays):
Bulldog UV Protectant, ____?____,
