I haven't tried to sell any "carbon pigment" prints yet, but I've wondered whether it might be legitimate to answer this question by relating the materials to other accepted art media, especially watercolors. For example, one could say "It is really impossible to predict a life span, because that depends on display conditions among other things. But the pigments used are the same as (or "similar to") some of the most stable watercolor pigments and the paper is acid-free rag." Perhaps this could be followed with a brief description of proper display conditions. Is this satisfying? Is it accurate?
