Re: [Digital BW] Third party dye inks

2009-02-09 by Richard Smallfield

While we're on the subject of dye inks, four or five years ago, people were using the HP 59 tritone greyscale dye ink cartridges in HP printers. 

It was thought by some - Wilhelm and HP - that these were very archival.

Well I used them too and they haven't lasted well. They are decidedly green looking and the Ultrachrome OEM inks with QTR have lasted far better.

If HP can't do it, why should anyone else be able to?
