Re:Color life paper and MIS inks

2002-04-09 by Harrison McClary

Robert,

Thanks.  I bought some Inkjet Fix from a local photo store and used 
it on the color life paper.  It worked very well.  The photo does not 
rub off anymore.  I must admit that I like the look of the prints 
better than those on the matte paper.  This inkjet fix comes in 
matte, semi matte and glossy.  Thanks for your input.  I also have 
some spray for traditional photos, I may give it a try to see how it 
works also.
