Photo longevity, Dye Sub vs. inkjet

[Todd33]

Anyone know of a test or write-up on photo printer photo longevity? I don't think inkjet photos will resist fading very well, how about dye sublimation? I can't seem to find any info.

In short, Dye subs will last a long time as the dye is thermally fused to the paper with a coating. It is water resistant and will resist fading.

Thanks. It looks like neither should be trusted with pics that you want for a ling time. I guess the solution is Ofoto
