I don't see the Premier Art Hot Press there.  The Epson UltraSmooth, 
which appears to have the same coating as Premier Art Hot Press is 
rated at 205 under glass.

It's interesting that the Velvet Fine Art is only rated at 61 years 
with the color inks.  UltraSmooth is rated at 108.

Wilhelm notes that the significant increases in permanence ratings 
are due largely to the "highly-stable carbon pigment based black 
inks."

So, maybe the 100% carbon inks would really do well on that paper.
