I would add to Linda's comment that even pro photographers use printing services instead of relying on in-house printers. An advantage to using archival printing services is their software for color management and print sharpening is top-notch. Yes, you can do all this at home, but it takes time. Definitely look for ways to outsource this task before buying a printer. bab On Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 10:51 AM, Linda Feltner <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Happy New Year to you Marla! > > If you want archival, you should focus your research on archival pigments. > This also includes matching paper. > Pigmented inks are more archival.
