Digital BW, The Print

They hired Wilhelm to test the inks before they announced the 
printers and the data is on his site. The HP pigments had been rated 
much higher than Epson in the past also, only there was the problem 
with non HP media compatability. Now people are going to say he is in 
bed with HP I guess. He rated Canon and Epson about the same in 
longevity and much better color for HP. Black and white have all 
three doing very well thanks to the carbon content they all use now. 
We'll see.
