You want an opinion?  

Buy a CIS (Nomorecarts or MIS) and carbon pigment inks (PiezoBW or MIS) and print on 100% rag cotton papers.  Mount in a rag cotton mat board.  That is if you want to print B&W.  There are also Pigment color inks as well. 

Simple.

  Subject: [Digital BW] epson inks/archival papers


  Hi
  I'm new to the group and have already gained a wealth of information
  - 
  thanks to all for that. i am trying to get a grip on the fading / 
  archival issue. Just started using an Epson 1280 with epson inks. dye 
  based as i understand it? i read here that Epson archival matte is
  not 
  archival, will yellow and derteriorate, but epson claims 25 years 
  before noticable fading. So, what about using epson inks with
  archival 
  papers. Are the inks as unstable or more so or less so? I'm aware of 
  the Whilhelm site but it is unaccesible. Many thanks for some advice.
