Peter,

In my brief experience, 99% of the mysterious problems with inkjet prints 
are due to people using 3rd-party inks and papers. Printer manufacturers go 
to a lot of trouble to get matching papers and inks that work with their 
printers most of the time. Then along comes Joe Bloggs who thinks he knows 
better and can save a dollar/euro/pound or two by using WonderGlo ink and 
Cheapo paper.

The Wilhelm institute papers show how important it is to get the right match 
of ink and paper if you want longevity.

The fact is that reports of mysterious and often rapid changes in
color of inkjet prints, or often just the paper itself, are LEGION.
I see these reports in every forum where inkjet printing is
discussed.  And 99% of the time there's no obvious cause.
