Because not everyone has the same uses; pre-press people want vibrant
consistent color, smooth texture, accurate profiles... and could care if it
lasts a month.

Same here,

It's Epson papers & inks if I am sending out great, professional looking
samples to editors, but which won't cost me an arm and a leg, and will be
either returned to me somewhat dog-eared, or dumped in the office garbage
(editors seem to love it if they don't have to worry about packaging
everything up and sending it back!). If there is stuff they really want for
reference, it stays in a filing cabinet anyway.

I am not going to send something made with expensive archival inks on
Somerset Velvet or whatever!

Even for a more formal portfolio, using Epson means it's cheap to either
change images as my work changes, or custom produce different portfolios for
different types of clients - and if  they do start to fade I can just run
off new ones...

Different horses for different courses as my old Gran used to say
