Digital BW, The Print

Wilhelm gives the b&w prints a rating of 100+ years which seems 
archival enough for me.  Yes, it is an encapsulated paper/dye 
combination and performance will not be the same on either matte or 
3rd party papers.  I think the HP prints are excellent and have left 
my 1160 purged and idle since getting the 7660... until I need larger 
prints of course.
