I've had excellent results with an Epson 2000P & the Epson line of papers that are recommended for it by Epson. I won the printer several years ago so I don't have any prints from it older than about 3 years. With having to prepare 35 images for a recent gallery show, I wondered about the archival aspect also. After talking with some full time outdoor pros, they convinced me to use the 2000P for my gallery images. Had over a hundred viewers @ the gallery & the archival concern never surfaced. Sold about a dozen images so I guess my butt is hanging out there. If it does become an issue I'll print another image in its place. I've got conventional prints that have faded in a few years. I try not to display any image in direct sunlight. If I had to buy a new printer now I would go with the Epson 2200 (around $600) or a new bigger Epson (don't remember the designation) that does 17" wide prints.
