A professional photographer friend has asked us to inkjet some 100 year indoor durability color prints for him.

Here is the website he referred us to
http://www.fineartgicleeprinters.org

If any of you have other useful information about archival printing, we'd like to hear from you.

Thanks for your help. Vic G

The trick is to use a printer with pigmented inks. Dye based inks are ok for short term 'Wow' color, but they will fade, guaranteed. Been running a Roland HiFi jet with pigment inks and it is rated at over 120 years in 'gallery' conditions. Hope that helps

how do they ever come up with those number of years?

If i'm still alive at around 80, i'm gonna give a lifetime warranty on evertyting that goes out the door.

Hey Bruce, we talked about offering 200 year life for a 30 per cent upcharge. Any problems after 100 years, just come see us and we'll take care of it! We could throw in some Golden Gate Bridge stock to sweeten the deal. Vic G
