I have heard that dye sub prints are more archival than standard color
print processes. It makes sense to me, having worked in a dye transfer
print lab. Dye colors are stable, and if a good quality paper is used as a
base, I would think the prints would hold up very well, especially compared
to Polaroid prints. Of course, I have no proof of this - has anyone done a
study or know of one?
