From what others have posted, apparently not. In fact, one person says 
the dye inks are worse (1270 experience).


I recommend going to this post on the x7x list: message #10263 by Jack 
Schultz. He has written what amounts to a small treatese on the 
subject. He has seen it with HP printers too...well I guess about ALL 
inkjets. If he knows what he's talking about apparently the glycols 
which act as a base for many inksets outgass. It can be solved by 
putting a piece of paper over the print for 24 hours. And matt papers 
are not affected-unless they have an RC barrier on them if there is 
such a paper.

I also talked to Chris Bair regarding this, some of this info is from 
him.
