I thought (reading a photographic magazine that I can't seem to find right now) that Epson had released a small home inkjet in the last six month that would use ultra-chrome or archival inks -- plugged as lasting 70 years. I will see if I can find the mag or do more > research.

I guess I was thinking of these -- wide format Epson printers. And I guess for a lot they would not be considered "home printers" since they aren't small and aren't cheap. Many use ultra-chrome or archival inks. I looked into them awhile back because I was thinking of printing art work (done digitally on the computer -- thinking of them for down the road if I can ever afford one). Not sure how well they do photos. I would have to research that too.

The printer you are thinking about is the Epson 2200 which uses the ultrachrome inks. Runs about $700 when you can find someone with stock. Right now demand seems to be slightly exceeding production.
