Only a few printers so far can use these new inks. To clarify Thomas's point, the last time I checked a couple months ago only three Epson models for the home market use archival inks and only one of them uses the ink that lasts 100 years. I'm not sure, but I think all of them were introduced to the market as recently as this year. I'm certain that two of them were introduced in the last 7 or 8 months. --Mike Buckley

Good points regarding the progression of technology leaving today's standards behind. The lack of color print paper for our color negatives may be a problem for our children's children though I suspect that technology may keep help us here also-- the film scanners have already allowed us to merge our 35 mm SLR's with our pc's, as I'm sure you're aware. (for ex.:http://www.usa.canon.com/camcambin/filmscanner/fs2710.html) If the demand is great enough, those 'old' (our current) 35 mm negatives won't be lost forever. nos
