RE: [Digital BW] Carbon-pigment inkjet print life vs.Conventional VC/MG RC print life?

2002-11-01 by David J. Bookbinder

And then of course there's the whole collector issue. To quote the final

not be paying more than they should for something made recently. The only
concerns I have are print permanence."
