Digital BW, The Print

Ernst,

Note that the Ink Properties paragraph has been removed from the new  
Pro page that you provided a link for.  The original (7600) ink  
properties paragraph read as follows and Daniel should note the  
comment about the inks NOT settling:

Ink Properties-
Our preliminary fade testing shows that our inks out last the Epson  
inks when exposed to Miami Sunlight for prolonged periods of time (400 
+ hours). We have not concluded all of our side by side testing, but  
we are confident that our inks are as good or better than the Epson  
inks in terms of fade resistance.

The inks have a 2 year, room temperature, shelf life, and will not  
settle or fall out during this period. You do not have to shake our  
inks before installing a cartridge in the printer. We have not  
experienced any clogging or performance problems with our inks in  
Epson cartridges, or in aftermarket cartrdiges. These inks have a  
high pigment load and are therefore more expensive to manufacture.
