I don't know, but I think even the epson has a LONG way to go before it can compete with the 200+ years of permanence of a selenium toned black and white fiber base print : ) Although I would HIGHLY reccommend epson for any inkjet or "desktop" printing that needs archival quality. I only have an OLD epson stylus photo, it is FAR FAR FAR from being archival, but the quality of print even with black and white and duotone is way better than that of other printers of "equal" caliber. ....Maybe if it is not too expensive, you could have your images output to film, then make an acutal print from those digital negatives. just thought I'd throw some ideas into the mix.
