Yes ... but hyping it they are. Just because some "technical guru" says a thing is so does not, in fact, make it so. Time will tell, not marketing mavens and technology wizards, regardless of their credentials.
And, while we're on the subject, most of this discussion has centered around color. What about the longevity of B&W ink jet prints compared to well-processed silver gelatin prints? It's my understanding that, in order to make fine quality B&W ink jet prints, special inks are needed, which, in and of itself is not a bad thing, although, in order to print good color and good B&W it's been suggested that a printer dedicated to each is ideal. Finally, let's talk about paper surfaces. Is it true that the longer-lived papers are generally matte finished, and that there are some problems with glossy papers?
