This is what I'm getting at.   "Reasonable approximations"... I want to see 
one.  The glow of a fine optical silver print is my standard.  Then we could 
talk about platinum and palladium...

And what IS archival in digital terms?  The Epson dude told me 80-100 years.  
Isn't 100 years the MINIMUM with optical wet darkroom?  I haven't conducted 
test on any of my prints, but I'd be surprised if the best would go much longer 
than 100 years.
