Now there seems to be a third player in the pigment ink printer
segment  of the market. HP has also announced a new printer said
(according to them) to use pigment inks.

HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Photo Printer (A3+ size)

 • New 8-color HP Vivera pigment inks produce gallery-quality photos
and offer users excellent image quality, durability and performance on
a broad array of media

• Exceptional durability – Waterproof photos (1) that resist fading
for more than 200
