Digital prints

Does anyone have any thoughts/details about obtaining "archival"
quality digital prints? I have had the phrases "UV stable inks",
"archival printing out paper", "100 year life span" mentioned to me
but none of my local printers appear to recognise the problem or
offer any solutions.

Has anyone managed to work out what the best options are for printed
digital images (bearing in mind that we do not have the original
documents so the prints will become the archive in effect).
