Andy,
If you haven't had a look at Tim Rudman's book on lith printing then
you are in for a treat. There's a short review in the book section
at the bottom of the Infrared FAQ - http://www.infraredfaq.org
On the subject of digital ink-jet prints, there are various claims
made by manufacturers about archival properties of various inks and
papers. These claims have to be taken on the basis of some form of
scientific prediction as ink-jet printers have not been around that
long.....
Does anyone have a URL for a recent review of archival ink-jet media
properties?
Using a canvas type paper in ink-jet printers does give interesting
results......
