Thomas, I'm sure you're referring to the only two papers on which Epson archival printers achieve advertised archival performance. The glossy one is marketed as "Premium Glossy Photo Paper." The other one is their "Heavyweight Matte Paper." For longest periods of time before colors shift, you would use the latter. For higher color saturation, you would use the former. --Mike Buckley

In a series of PMs this weekend, TMH proposed four distinct markets for digital photography: 1) the snapshot crowd -- low volume, not very demanding 2) the enthusiast -- moderate to high volume, fairly picky 3) the pro -- very high volume, extremely picky 4) the specialist -- pro or semi-pro applications with special requirements such as electronic publication for which the picky aspects don't matter. Might be a worthwhile effort to refine these categories a bit and then assess the ability of current and potential storage techniques to meet these requirements. Beyond confirming where flash can meet storage capacity requirements the piece I grapple with is identifying what mainstream applications require/benefit from removable memory in a standard form factor which is a key and differentiating flash attribute. Clearly, carrying around music, pictures, and presentations so they can be shared using many different devices is part of the allure of flash. I have to think there is a killer application here somewhere - perhaps with a secure digital twist which can guarantee revenue streams for the person carrying the card.
