Disbelief. Output looks so nice, we tend to think it should last forever.
Lack of exposure to deteriorated items, if you don't see it, it doesn't exist.

Cost, compare some archival paper or ink to convential stuff. I was in the
Container store the other day looking for storage boxes to put some of our
thousands of books into, and when I saw the archival boxes I figured my
search was done. Then I looked at the $29.99 price each for the boxes that
would hold less than 100 paperbacks.
