Just make sure you use an acid free paper.

Are there any
new developments in computer-driven printing technology
that bring us closer to archival output? Conventional laser
printing is not it; I think the plastic ink is too sensitive
to remelting or flaking under heat or pressure.
From this perspective, ink jet looks as long-lasting as any
water-soluble
dipped-pen ink that's survived for a few hundred years depending on
conditions.
Are archival ink-jet photo papers more resin-coated?
Cartridges with archival quality ink have been available for Deskjets for
a couple of years now. Expensive.
