Even though they're local to me (in Cleveland) I haven't tried it yet and have no idea of its 
archivalness.  Let us know if you do try it.

Probably a decade ago, in my old-fashioned-film days, I saw a number of  
black and white (well, not very white) prints displayed in a local 
gallery that were produced in a chemical darkroom on emulsion coated 
aluminum sheets.  I couldn't afford any of 'em (then or now) but they 
were VERY interesting images.  If I recall, they were on fairly heavy 
sheets - at least 1/8 inch thick, maybe 3/16.  Some of them were quite 
large - I think one might have been as much as 48 inches tall.

If those aluminum sheets from AlumaJet really work with all inks, it 
would be fun to try with the MIS EZ inks.  But starting at $6/sheet I'd 
like to think you could wipe one off and use it again if you didn't like 
the results.  ;-)

Cheers,
Kip

Might want to try Ink Aid http://www.inkaid.com you can get small 
bottles from www.inkjetart.com . I've never used it, but they claim 
to have a clear coating for any metal, glass, plexiglass (lexan), etc.
