Could you post links to these Wilhelm statements? The only Wilhelm 
EEM/pigmented ink things I've seen say 'in testing...'

I'm a digiprint newbie whose only really tried EEM and Museo. I'm 
really curious as to the (relative) archivalness of EEM, because it's 
so cheap and so far gives me way sharper, nicer images than Museo.

BTW thanks Paul for all your work with the MIS inksets and PS curves. 
For now I'm doing B&W with black only ala Clayton Jones, but am 
considering getting a dedicated hextone 1280 next time I've got $700 
laying around :-)

Peace,
Sanaka
