The is one current web site with image stability data on ink jet 
prints-- www.tssphoto.com/sp/dg/news/wilhelm102999.html
Most of the data come from the work of Henry Wilhelm 
(Henry-Wilhelm.com) his web site is currently down however. My own 
unscientific tests indicate that the best stability is when one uses 
the paper supplied by the printer manufacturer. this was based on 
fade tests using an Epson Photo printer and papers from three 
manufacturers faded under strong light conditions. I know that a good 
bit of the reason the dye sublimation printers give superior result 
is that they put a thin UV absorbing layer over the finished print.

Epson does advertise archival inks and papers.
