Just an update... OCP can not/will not sell me small samples of
product and I'm not interested in buying 500ml of each color right
now. I may contact RJettek and see if they will help me out. Obviously
I am remaining extremely skeptical about the performance of the OCP
dye inks since they suggest them to be as fade resistant as Claria.
Maybe they did it, maybe it is just hype, but it looks like I may not
test them at all. Too bad too because I found a place to buy Blue Wool
test cards, and they are only about $15 each card. It may not be our
preferred standard, but it is some kind of dose meter. I have some
information on comparing Blue Wool steps to hours in an Atlas machine,
but it is on my computer at home. If anyone want the information on
Blue Wool, please change the subject line accordingly.

So at this time, I can not find much of anything about these OCP inks,
and as such I can not put my stamp of approval on them until I test
them for longevity.
