What is the Life Expectancy of a Digital Color Print

With the life of a photo in storage iffy at best, I'm thinking a good archival print is the answer. I know my fiber base b & w's will last longer than I will. I'm not so sure about digital. Any experience with this?

Ken, thanks. Of course, in five years or so, at the rate that digital technology is developing, they'll come up with something super archival.

Doug,

I note that Epson claim that their DURABright Ultra resin coated pigment ink lasts
"up to 120 years and is water and smudge resistant" on their Matte Heavyweight paper. Certainly will outlast me (and my grandchildren!)
