No one is using a bog standard inkjet for something they want to frame for years.

A "bog standard inkjet" with pigment inks is not inferior to photo printing. "Photo lab processed photos" degrade equally badly when not displayed behind UV filtering glass.

Even my "bogger standard" inkjet with dye-based colors hold up extremely well. Heck, the photo is taking at dusk with a very dark-blue background, and it's still equally dark. Maybe the paper coating has UV resistance. IDK.
