Again I would think that the downfall would be the base of the print being plastic. You should call Ilford Photo or Kodak (although Kodak seems to be
getting out of the b&w paper business) and get details, I am only talking from my experience.

The papers that epson is rating for 60-75 years with the new Ultrachrome
inks are simply RC base as well...so I wouldn't necessarily write off RC's
based on the plastic base.  I think the issue here is what happens with the
emulsion.
