Digital BW, The Print

can you explain what this means?
If it doesn't fade, what does it do in ten years?
Thank you,
George

  It has an acidic paper base. That is the problem, not fading.

  Yeah..this paper again.

  I've been through the commentary, and done some web searches, but I am 
  not finding anyting much on the longevity of this paper (2400 K3, or 
  even 2200 UC). Ilford's site says something about ten years. !!!! 
  This can't be right...can it? The paper makes beautiful prints, but 
  if it is only 10 years worth of fade resistance, then it is not 
  something I want to stock up on

  Anyone have any info on this paper's longevity (BW and color - R2400)?

  Thanks
