Volkan has done thatn hand painting in the color trial.
I do no longer think other (non printer) inks are a good way to go. I  
remember now why i bought this old epson, many moons ago it was said  
acrylic floor polish would work. Well it didn't for me.

The yellow and magenta seem to hold up very well, and they are meant for  
inkjets, so IMO that seems like a good thing to use.
