...Of course if you've bought all of those standards then you'll have all the answers won't you. On the other hand if you haven't bought them then you have no idea what they say but you're claiming there is a standard as though you know what's in them.
From 2011 to 2015 I've quoted/paraphrased several ISO docs related to photographic materials, storage, etc.
Just use the search on APUG and try to find them. I am not gonna repeat every year like a parrot. In 2017 some other will ask the same question.
I am pretty sure that PE and a few other knowledgeable folks are tired of repeating the same stuff over and over as well.
On the orig. question - are we vain?
Does Raggedy Anne have cotton parts?
Art is vain. People (all) are vain.
Question is if our vanity produces anything other vain people like. Hopefully alot.
All I'm asking is for a simple answer and not a diatribe on how to archivally process a print. Once again, how long must a print life be to be considered archival? The answer is as simple as "X years". I don't belive there is an answer to that question which isn't accompanied by a huge amounts of caveats, ifs and buts. i.e. Its imposibble to define with any accuracy so its a meaningless term to say a print is archival. You can only say you have done such and such archval processing and archival framing but you can't say how long a print will survive.
Why should any medium for art need to be permanent? In the history of the earth none is. Copies of copies may go on ad infinitum, but the most archival print will eventually turn to dust. Second law of thermodynamics.
It's not vanity - it's doing something right. If you print on FB paper you need to get the fixer out of it. That's what we call archival - getting the fixer out of the print. Otherwise, why bother with FB paper?
If you want to be remembered for a long time, scratch your name on a rock.

Do it right is easy if you always strive to do it right.

only 625 more posts to go and you willbe at 20K !
but you still won't break the yearly record which was 10K in a year
you are sometimes at 100 posts a day so you will be at 20K very soon !
where's laz !?
If asked by a buyer about my work being "Archival" I tell them that I process for permanency using current methods, but as far I know there are no universal standards so I don't really know, and as I will long dead cant give a guarantee.
good luck reaching your goa! you still have a lot of posting to do ( your 100 a day won't cut it ) if you want to beat the other guy's 10,000 posts in a year, record.
Tell me more about Vellum paper , who here uses it nice article .The real enthusiast may print on vellum which lasts over 1000 years whilst archival paper lasts only 200-500 years:
