Lyson makes archival inks for the epson stylus 3000 as do several other companies. Refer to CameraArts April/May 1999 and June/July 1999 issues for some good articles on digital printing. I have not used Epson inks since I got the stylus 3000. I believe that there are archival inks under development or currently available for the lower end Epson printers. The longevity of these inks matches that of traditional photographic prints. Debby Dion
