What do you mean? If you are thinking of the prints, it is a matter of
inks and constant progress is being made. Have a look at the Epson
R900,R1800 and r2400 for instance.
Digital computer files should last indefinitely, longer than color
slides or negatives provided you have a good backup policy.
So what is your problem?
Cheers,
