Hello Dave.
I think the enemy of prints like that will be humidity and acid from
other objects in the capsule. Light and I hope heat is largely removed from
the equation.
We would use poly sleeves for such a project, and a competent supplier is
Light Impressions. Their polyester encapsulation materials and their
archivial sleeves seem to be just the thing. We've noticed no brittleness
over the years we've been using their products. THey are supposed to be
neutral Ph and with no plasticizers will not out-gas.
Hope this helps.
