You're sounding like MIS!

Well, if you're on this list, the "no-workflow" inkset is NOT for you.  This
is aimed at novice printers who need archival properties -- genealogists and
scrapbookers, in particular.

MIS is sending me the cheapest Epson printer available to see how the
approach works on a $50 machine.  It'll probably look terrible, but there
are lots of people for whom a 1280 is just not a realistic option.  I have
this ethos that pushes me to get this technology to the point where everyone
can copy and print their fading old family photos in a way that will
preserve those images virtually forever.  (Well, probably just longer than
this civilization will last -- especially if California politics is an
indication.  Shoot, dyes could do that!)
