This must be my day for disagreeing with everyone. Jerry I don't know
who sent your prints but you are wrong about archival inks. I have used
archival inks that have been ready for artists. 

Get a copy of Decor Magazine and count the ads of professional houses
producing giclee prints. If the archival inks were not ready for artists
I can absolutely guarantee you they would not be advertising fine art
reproductions. 

I think you got a bad batch of prints. Send me you mailing address
off-line and ask for some printed samples using archival inks. I'll send
you some that proves archival inks are good.
