That would be my explanation too Robert, but it's a guess. It is certainly
my explanation for why (I think) that Piezo BW inks print very warm on
Somerset Velvet Enhanced paper; We know this paper is pretty bad for dye
longevity (dye presumably sinks right into paper base, or perhaps
'chemically fades' through some odd reaction with the paper - and what you
have left in that case is the brown-ish carbon pigment sitting in the paper
coating, with the dyes well behind it out of site.

Or something ;)
