I just bought an Epson 1270 which is fantastic!!!  It prints on many 
different kinds of media, and the inks are claimed to be "archival."  The 
1270 is the large format (up to 13" wide) version.  The 870 is essentially 
identical, but doesn't handle the wider paper.  For the sizes you 
mentioned, the 870 sounds like an ideal choice.
