Digital BW, The Print

I ,too, have been searching for an economical  luster paper with archival qualities, hopefully with a bit more substance. Has anybody found an equal or near equal to Silver rag at a more economical price point.?

  Oh boy....so I have probably been misreading a lot of numbers. I always
  assumed the longevity figures were fade figures and there was no other
  variable.

  What I am doing is comparing Epson Prem Luster with Smoth Pearl - prints
  look very similar. Price does not. EPL has a long fade life.....but what
  is its status with the acidic base? Does it not have one?
