[NHCOLL-L:3220] RE: [NHCOLL-L:3219] Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss ® pigment ink

[Peter Frank]

The permanence depends on the paper used and the way the prints are stored.  Generally, the UltraChrome family of inks have a very long projected life, compared to most other inkjet inks.  See http://www.wilhelm-research.com/ for a comparison of various inks and the results of some tests.

	Dear List,
	We are planning to purchase a photo printer to use for photos of Herbarium specimens as they are collected.  Does anyone know if certain inks are better, i.e., longer lasting that others?  Epson advertises that the UltraChrome Hi-Gloss pigment ink lasts 100 years and is "archival quality".  Thanks.
