Mark mentions that the 7960 was retrofitted by HP with Vivera magenta to 
improve the print fade resistance. Does not happen often that a 
manufacturer goes that route.

BTW the minilab message I send you could be wrong, I see yet another 
document that says the ML1000D minilab has Vivera pigment so I am back 
where I was before. Largest Vivera dye carts are then the Designjet 130 
ones if none of the bigger Designjets uses it, HP can be vague.
