Re: [Digital BW] Re: Museo & Eclipse fade tests

2001-10-04 by Robert G. Morrison

Early differences are likely to be vehicle dependent.  Late differences
would most likely be the effect of particle size differences in the carbon
particles--however, I don't know for a fact that the two ink formulations
differ in particle size...most likely they are using the same carbon source
or technology...but that is a guess.
