Gildas,

When you get this answer it will be worth a lot of $$$$!  It is so
complicated you wouldn't believe. It isn't just the UV it is a whole range
of chemical factors. Each paper reacts differently to the different color
inks. My rule of thumb is that a true acid-free, non-glossy rag paper will
hold up as well as a framed art litho in average room light. I will state
that on every inkjet print I make. The so-called archival inks that are
coming out will last longer but I think the customer should be made aware of
the brand-name and characteristics.
