Digital BW, The Print

the black cartridge is interchangeable with a photo grey cartridge 
which has black, medium grey and light grey ink.  the inks are dye-
based.  from what i have read, the longevity is partly due to the 
fact that their paper has a non porous, but rather a swellable top-
surface, making the print much less prone to evaporative fading.  I 
assume that UV light-fastness will not be as good as pigment.

Paul, if you email me your address I'll send you a 21 step.

cheers,

Boris
