BTW I have two A3 prints done with a Epson 1520 four years ago, with Epson papers and inks, they stand in a reasonably good shape yet, framed, indoors and exposed to indirect sunlight everyday. In fact I never cared so much about their conservation. A friend has some portraits printed in a dye-sublimation one that stand perfect the last seven years, framed and hanging off his living room wall. Anyway we made them without any expectation over their lifespan, I'd never sell them as art prints because they havent proved nothing more than a decent persistence on a few copies.
