Melissa:
Actually, I use the HP1550 for printing shots of reference and shots for my portfolio book. I don't expect these prints to last any longer than 2-5 years depending on how much light they are exposed to.
I do a line of fine art prints of some of my works for which I have an Epson P2000 which uses archival pigmented inks and I print on watercolor paper. They are rated at 100+ years. You are correct that we have at this point only the word and research of the printer companies to go on, however, I am pretty confident that they are certainly MUCH better than a standard Epson or HP inkjet.
