Yes, but of course I wasn't talking about either RC or chromogenic
prints, but rather properly processed silver halide fiber based prints
which have already demonstrated their virtues by surviving in real world
archives. No inkjet print can claim that yet. The historians who collect
images for landmark preservation for the US government (HABS/HAER/HAL)
will only accept such prints, but they are beginning to accept the idea
of carbon based only inkjet on choice fine art stocks.

True, the inkjet surface needs better protection and a paper
integrated solution has been neglected too long already. On the other
hand a B&W silver halide print that survived without changes on the
paper white (development stains or plain yellowing), RC cracking or
layer release and even changes to the silver composition, must be an
indication that it came from a good lab and better than average
archiving after that. While color pigment inkjet prints share the same
surface vulnerability it is quite clear that they show much better
fade resistance than any chromogenic color process used in the past.
