Robert,

One authority with some degree of credibility has tested and states 
B/W on acid free rag to be in excess of 100 years with the 
combination you describe.  
See   http://www.wilhelm-research.com/epson/R2400.html

Hello Robert,

>inks...if wilhelm says it's ok-yahoo, 

One thing to notice at the above link: the initial charts are for
color prints.  On page 3 there are results for ABW prints, with much
greater longevity.  ABW prints are primarily the blacks with color
added only as toners.  Big difference.


Regards,
Clayton
