This is Durabrite ink. It will not say Durabrite on the cartridge, 
only on the box that it comes in. The CX5400 takes Regular Durabrite 
ink, while the new printers the C88 and CX4800 both take Durabrite 
Ultra inks, which are even /more/ waterproof and stickier than 
Regular (and also clog up the printer twice as fast).

C-series printers won't do CD printing though and thus lack a 
straight through path (the path on the R printers is only about 4.5" 
wide, not full sheet). I always found this irritating, because while 
the R-series do nice photos, they are not waterproof, so if you print 
your own CDs and DVDs, you can't have damp fingers or you'll ruin the 
printed surface. I'd prefer having Durabrite for printing on CDs and 
have the photo R-series without the feature.
