<x-flowed>Jim, could you please educate me (and perhaps others) what you "in the business" regard as archival, and how you use this term criteria wise. ANSI has taken a rather hardnosed position on the use of this term (actually abolished it - at least with B&W technologies). Their reason was that - after many years of use within the industry - there had developed a great amount of confusion on the use of "archival", and thus they declared - that in reality - there were no permanent media/materials - - only materials with "life expectancy" (LE) values. >MediaStreet Micro-Bright Pigmented Inks are archival.
