Hi - I'd like to print out some maps to put on display indoors. What paper would be the best for color longevity assuming my inks (#72s) are dye-based? We've been using Q8917A, HP Glossy, Everyday Pigment Ink Photo Paper, 100' roll, and I suspect we could be using a better suited paper.  Thanks!

The designjet information page has a whole section on media and you can enter your model number and it will show all compatible media. A banner paper designed for exposure will probably give you your best durability.

Thanks!  I'll have to give the banner paper a try (& thanks for the link, HP's website isn't getting easier to navigate these days)
