Hi Gregory,

I certainly agree that the SG inks produce very  good
prints.  I just could not endure my lovely warm prints
turning green as soon as the sun shone through a
window.  And, I was buying cartridges back when they
cost over $70 a pair, so you can imagine how costly
multiple cleaning cycles were.

By the way, on which type of paper do you print?  When
I printed on matte paper (my personal preference) I
only used EAM, which, as I understand it, is not
considered lightfast with dye inks.

I have since reprinted my faded SG prints with MIS FS
inks.  They have warmed a bit, but I do like warm
prints - unlike that guy from Grand Forks <G>.
