Any idea who sells these in the USA? Might be worth trying some to see
what they will do in the window. The only thing I really don't like
about there testing is that they are not spraying the inks on the
paper, they are using some sort of a knife to spread the inks across
the paper, and this has been shown to give false values in the fade
testing because this loads the paper with a lot more ink than a jet
will fire. But then again we are talking about dye inks here so how
much can I really expect.
