I'm particularly interested in the archival qualites of color laser
printout. I have a feeling that the prints will last as long as the
paper, but I don't know with certainty. They don't seem to be impacted
by UV.


Those are _silver_ based images (assuming you're talking about
lightjets, etc.) Inks and pigments have to be sprayed. You're
mixing up a lot of terms and printing technologies here...

Reread my question, and assume that I am not mixing anything up. I am
actually wondering about toner based color laser printers -- i.e. the HP
color LaserJet 4560n. I know that B&W laserjet toner is archival. I
wonder about color.
