Archival Question

2006-04-13 by George Payne

Hello Everyone,

 

I am curious what your thoughts are on dye based inks sprayed with some type
of "fixer."  I need a large format printer such as a 7600 or 7800, but I
will not use the printer enough to keep from having clogging problems due to
pigment inks.  I also prefer the price on a used 7600 vs. a new 7800.
Could I use a dye based printer and spray all the images for archiving
purposes?  I hope my question isn't too off the mark.  Thanks in advance for
your thoughts.
