Hello Jim

I do not have first hand experience printing with the UltraChrome 
inks, and I hope I made that clear on my previous postings. I think I 
did.

Like many others, I am still trying to decide if is time to jump into 
the "UltraChrome Inks" bandwagon ... in the hope of a "longer life".
 
TO help me made the decision, I lurked for a few months in a number 
of inkjet-related forums while compiling the list of "Issues and 
Concerns" I highlighted in my original post. In addition, I got a few 
of my images printed by three different Epson Pro dealers so that I 
could directly compared UltraChrome prints against their dye 
counterparts. Unfortunately, in all cases, the prints I got back from 
the dealers suffered from the "Ultrachrome sins". 

It was then that I decided to "come out of the lurker's closet" and 
post for the very first time. Out of "youthfull ignorance", I 
simultaneusly posted in 3 different forums, which I later learned 
is "not cool".

Anyway, the "bronzing" related remarks/recommendations paper I made 
on my very last posting are not my own, but rather, they are a 
compilation of some of the responses elicited by my original posting.

Unless is also "uncool" to provide feedback obtained from other 
forums, I will continue to post what I hear/learn along the way.

Still trying to learn the unwritten rules, Miguel Angel Aleman
