Re: Printers and ink
Wilhelm Research, Inc. has done extensive research on longevity and
archive-worthiness of papers, inks and printers - it's usually a matter of
the combination of all 3 of these, rather than just one element.
Unfortunately their web site is down right now - a notice on it says they
will be up back online "during the month of October 2001."
