This concerns pigment ink printers, and will be orders of magnitude better than any dye based solution.

Best is HP Z3200 and Z9 line, followed by new Epson, and older Canon IPF line.
The losers are the new Canon PRO x000 line (same as Pro 1 and Pro 10), and old Epsons. They longevity is as little as 37 years vs over 200 of the best ones. It may still be OK for every day applications but it's not something I would be comfortably calling "archival".
My older Canon IPF6450 is somewhere in the middle. While everyone is improving, Canon is regressing according to this study. HP looks like the one to get next.
