Wilhelm on New HP Inks

2006-02-27 by Clayton Jones

Hello All,

Just saw on DpReview a PMA announcement of HP's new 8-cart 13" pigment
printer, Vivera pigment inks and new papers (glossy and matte). 
They are claiming best longevity, and the news article contains this
quote:

Henry Wilhelm, Wilhelm Imaging Research Inc., (WIR) said, "With WIR
Display Permanence Ratings of more than 200 years, prints made with
the HP Photosmart Pro B9180 A3+ Photo Printer, Vivera pigment inks,
and select HP glossy photo papers and matte fine art papers set a
new benchmark for overall colour print permanence. When displayed
framed under glass, prints made with the new printer, inks, and papers
are among the longest-lasting prints in the entire 130-year history of
colour photography.

Things are getting interestinger and interestinger.

I wonder what this inks are like on non-HP papers?


Regards,
Clayton
