Digital BW, The Print

I guess I have also been misunderstanding the whole issue.
So where does that leave Kodak, whose claim that their pro paper lasts a lifetime?
And yes, the Epson also?
Is anything as it's claimed?

  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?
