Digital BW, The Print

David and Paul,

Many thanks for your help, saves a lot of work.
Think I go for Epson Premium Semigloss or Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl.
What about using Krylon (have a lot of it) instead of Lyson Print Guard?

Paul, "archival" Epson Premium papers?
If you compare HPR/UT1/Eboni and Premium Semigloss/UT1/Photo Black.
Would it be 70-100 years for HPR and 10-25 for Semigloss, or 
something like that?
