Richard:
I would just like to point out that the use of "Rives BFK" & Epson papers
with the diluted Archiva ink in your 1160, will not give you much more that
double the life of the Epson ink. Would highly recommend you use the Ilford
papers, XG's UltraGloss, for maximum life--up to 50 Wilhelm years.

The special "ink receptor" coatings on these papers combined with these
inks, and our Wide Spectrum Inks, give them the "near archival" abilities.
