Hello, Was there ever any group consensus reached on the expected life of prints when using epson Archival Matte paper with the 1270/1280 inks? I have seen discussion of this issue, but I don't think I heard any solid answers. I would prefer the Archival Matte to the Matte Paper-Heavywieght that came out with the 1270 becuase the "proper" paper ripples when used with these inks.
