Yes indeed.  A new piece of paper and ink just about sums it up.  Will the
paper and ink for those printers still be available in 80 years?  Will we
still be printing with ink on paper in 80 years?  Will Epson still be there
to honour their 'guarantee' in 80 years?

That sort of guarantee is worth no more than the paper it is printed on!
Literally.

It's a BIG discussion on the EpsonWideFormat list.

General consensus is that it is pure marketing, all hype.

If the print 'dies', you get a new piece of paper and some ink.
