Re: Time to change inks correct but which ones?

2002-10-02 by tjphotoct

John,
Thanks very much for your advice. I guess no one has a definitive 
answer. I have ordered more Sundance but I have two 3000 printers and 
one of them is in the shop getting refurbished and new heads. I don't 
want to initiate that printer with more Sundance if there are problems 
with that ink.
Frankly I haven't had any problems with Sundance but I am constantly 
reprinting my work and throwing the old prints away so I don't see any 
fade problems. Most of my prints are in portfolios behind plastic or 
they are stored in large file drawers. I just haven't had problems but 
I don't want any and that is why I am asking for some non biased 
comments. 
Best,
Thom
