I can not say that my inkjet's will last any longer, I am not sure anyone here can answer that question, time will tell- though I must say working with pigment paste and also working with two different print head types (Canon and Epson) I feel that pure pigment or crushed stone would have a hard time getting through the system.
To this point I moved the bulk of my colour work to Blue Wool Scale 8 pigments saturated in gum which is hardened by Sunlight (UV) and washed out with water. - This is all done
by hand and quite exhilarating, in fact I highly encourage this method of working to any artist who likes making prints.
