So, does that mean that other patented head configurations, like the Iris for example, are incapable of using the high-stability pigment inksets? HP is certainly doing something interesting with pigments in their thermal printers to achieve such ratings. John -Apparently one thing that limits the non-Epson desktop printers in this regard is the viscosity of the inks. The piezo-electric head that Epson has rather well protected with patents may be the only one that can pump the high-viscosity base needed to keep high loads of larger particles in suspension.
