Re: Is Claria the best dye ink? was batch h1 Aardenburg test results are in

This is getting interesting.

I've been using an HP Photosmart Pro 8750 (essentially the larger-format successor to HP's Photosmart 7960) since its release, and have been impressed to the point of procuring a second 8750 as a spare. For me, its black-and-white output has been amazing (color printing quality is hardly a slouch, either). with few to none of the usual nagging artifacts (gloss differential, bronzing, serious metamerism) when used with HP's Premium/Premium Plus inks.  I'm probably going to prepare a set of prints for evaluation by Aardenburg before long to draw a firm bead on the archival qualities of this combination, the visual quality of which I'm solidly sold on.
