Do you hang the same prints on your walls for more than 1 year? I change my
prints every 6-12 months, at least. I dont really understand that people
emphathize the archival aspect so much. In an album/ scrap book it should
not be an issue anyway, and who hangs prints on a wall longer as 30 years?
Seems a bit absurd to me.

But you know how much more expensive Piezo is than MIS? I guess it must be
factor 10 or so at least.

Canon should be ok for color, I bought the 2100 at ebay 2 days ago, I will
try to find out what it is to work with this printer.... My 1160 for BW (MIS
UT) will stay here anyway.
