Good thinking.  I fear a tremendous gap in photographic history
at some point.  Our current reliance upon an intangible medium
could subject future generations to a a period of time where
billions of photographs were taken but few preserved/printed for
future generations.

I don't care what our current wisdom says--I have little trust
in the "archival" nature of Epson pigment prints.  Five years
from now we'll be bragging up the archival properties of a new
printer and lamenting the inferiority of our current state of
the art.

At least archivally processed silver-geletin on fiber prints
have a known lifespan.
