If you want an archival print, you need to use archival paper together with an
inkjet printer that uses dye-based inks.
You can get dye-based cartridges for many home inkjet printers. You can also
find archival inkjet paper by doing a Google search.

Kinko's is not exactly synonymous with "high quality," I'm afraid. You'd have
better luck finding a professional photo studio that has the capacity to handle
digital files.

Mike,
Actually, it's the inks that fade. The ink/paper combination will have a
definate effect on longevity, however.
Find a service provider that specializes in printing artwork. If you don't
want to go that route, an Epson 1280 using Epson Heavyweight Matte paper
will give you about 25 years, if stored properly. Epson 2000P will give you
approx 200 yrs, again, if stored properly. The most long lasting will be
pigment inks on an archival matte paper that has no optical brighteners in
it.
