I have no b&w experience to share, but do use pigment ink (Generations enhanced G4 on an mwords CIS and 2000P).
I have had good results with pigment ink and gloss paper using Professional Photoflash 260g A3 paper. Would be interested if anyone else has other experiences. Theoretical longevity looks good, and no negative experience so far, do have some laminated & non-laminated work on long term test on a sunlit indoor wall.
