Digital BW, The Print

Lynn,
FWIW, I think that the i9900 prints are excellent. Wide color gamut 
with excellent saturation. Pretty neutral B&W using color inks, and/or 
black-only.
I like the dye-based deep blacks on the watercolor paper when compared 
to my own epson matte black UC inks. This fellow has tested many papers 
and his favorites are the ones I listed below.
Sorry, I cannot comment on their archivability.
Cheers, John
