I don't think the problem is the paper, it's the ink. Inkjet ink is dyes
that fade. They are working on it. Epson has inkjet ink (black - possibly
color, too) and paper that is supposed to be archival for around 50 years. The
Canon printer (color) that I bought a year or two ago is supposed to print
with archival quality of around 25-30 years.
They all say, of course that's with their brand of ink and paper that are
specified archival. Ilford has some nice archival printer photo paper. It's
cheaper than the printer brands but as far as I know is only carried by photo
stores, if you can find one still in business.
