The original Epson Archival pigment inks of the 2100-2200 are probably 
the most fade resistant of all Epson pigment inks including the most 
recent ones. The inkset doesn't have a gamut and shows "metamerism". 
The 2100 smallest droplet size is I guess 3x that of the 1400. It will 
be hard to get an image quality equal to recent models with any pigment ink.
