Digital BW, The Print

Jerry,

I was offline for a couple of days with a computer crash.

Anyway, the 1270 dyes were very problematic. They faded and turned 
all sorts of colors.

The newest dyes in the 1280, (7000/9000 just released dye only) and 
the 10000 all have the 26 year dyes. The black did not fade in my 
tests. The black is their most stable color from what I have heard.

Try it.

Mike
