Speaking of papers, those are getting nicer too. One print this friend showed me was on a nice glossy paper with more heft that the ones I have seen in the past so that it came across very much like photographic paper. Another had a matte finish which produced a print effect very much like rotogravure or a high end art book appearance.

Mike,that probably makes a lot of difference. The complaints I've read were mostly for prints left exposed to the air (sometimes for a relatively short time)and who knows what paper they used. However, most users won't put their prints behind glass right away so it may still not be mass market stuff . (not to mention the cost) However, as Thomas points out, regular prints don't last forever either. The file kept on a CD should last a long time, but maybe in 50 years it will be difficult to read a CD because the technology has gone somewhere else. Well, I'll let my descendents worry about that.. :)
