Digital BW, The Print

> Epson has entered the "dry-lab" (mini-lab) business with a printer called the
SureLab D3000. It uses dyes for superior glossy image quality, and Epson has
been claiming "archival" image stability, with prints that will last for
"generations" if properly displayed and stored. On the other hand, early,
pre-release information stated, "lightfastness ratings 80 years," which is
consistent with Wilhelm's claims for Claria dyes.

Thirty years ago, Kodak got their socks sued off for exactly the same kind
of exaggerated claims.
