The phrase is not quantifiable; no standards exist that describe how long an "archival" or "archival quality" material will last. Bill |

The phrase is not quantifiable; no standards exist that describe how long an "archival" or "archival quality" material will last. Bzzzt! "Archival Paper is an especially permanent, durable acid-free paper. Archival paper is meant to be used for publications of high legal, historical, or significant value. In the USA, such paper must also be approved in accordance with the ANSI standards.[15] The international standard for "permanent" paper is ISO 9706 and for "archival" paper, the standard is ISO 11108." [above citation: Ivar A. L. Hoel. "Standards for Permanent Paper". 64th IFLA General Conference - Conference Programme and Proceedings. archive.ifla.org. http://archive.ifla.org/IV/ifla64/115-114e.htm. Retrieved 2009-06-24. ] Here's a book printer's view on paper ... http://www.gregathcompany.com/archival.html Interesting info at the book printer site, although I notice that the first sentence there pretty much agrees with my above quote from University Products: It depends on how technical your definitions of acid free and/or archival are - there is no publishing industry wide definition or single standard. |

I'm glad to see there are ANSI and ISO standards for "archival paper".
