I need to print (get printed) 6-10 "archival quality prints" (12x18 in.) for a photo contest for my town's public library.
I can understand why they'd want something that would last.
Anyone have any suggestions? (I do this on-line usually)

| After looking at those prices I decided to talk to look into the proof devices we have at work. We're a high-end shop with archival inks and paper - so I'll need to do some "test prints" ;) |

You can always make your own prints "archival" with a finishing spray. Google Protect It! by uhmmm 3M I think.

Most photographic prints are naturally 'archival'. Unless you are printing them on some sort of cheap copy paper, you should be fine. Most photographic papers these days are acid free.
Whether or not they remain archival is going to be determined by how you store or frame it.

A lot of the normal mini-labs around here use Fuji Crystal Archive as their standard paper. Wouldn't that be archival enough?
