| Sorry if this has been discussed and I missed it...
| 
| Is anyone interested in these gloss papers?  The specs say they will last 30
| years with good quality pigment inks... 10 with dyes. 30 years may not be
| long enough for fine art photog's but for some commercial uses??

| Thanks Maris, I'd like to try it with Piezo BW and my Epson 2000P pigments.
