If you can believe those Wilhelm (sp?) test the HP Designjet prints will outlast Epson prints by a factor of at least 2. But I will not be around to care.
Did you check the results properly? According to them Designjet 130 (very similar results were achieved for Designjet 90 too) the best longevity was achieved with specialised HP papers and it was 82 years displayed under glass, 100 years framed with UV filter, 45 years not framed, 200 years in album. The same numbers for Epson R1800 and Watercolor Paper Radiant White were respectively: 200, 250, (in test), 250. Yeah, I know that Designjet 5500 got results more or less similar to Epson, but it is in another class than printers we were talking about (Epson R2400 and HP 8750).
