Hello, I am the new guy that just signed up, and first off, it seems this blog is not used very often. However, I hope the few of you left, could give me your learned advice as I have seen in the past forums. Can I just use the oem ink (Canon or Epson) depending on the printer I use, or what i have heard in the past "use our papers and inks to achieve maximum permanence" still true?
Regards,

OEM inks- YES.
Paper- No so much. I would stack Red River, Canson or Moab papers up against anything Canon or Epson produce.
As for permanence, that is a function of how archival you make the presentation. Excellent framing techniques and UV glazing are the best way to guarantee that.
Taping something to your fridge doesn't quite get you there.
