[Nhcoll-l] Alcohol safe InkJet printers

[Dirk Neumann]

We still use our old HP 600 monochrome printers, but we have been told 
that HP stopped production and supply of cartridges last year.
Bill Moser, Geoff Williams, Diane Pitassy and colleagues at the 
Smithsonian have good results with HP Officejet Pro series (e.g. X476dn).

We have been told that the imprinting is similar to the old imprinting 
method of the HP 600 printers (shooting the ink into the printing 
medium) and is producing good results so far.

Lifespan surely will also depend on the quality of the paper, while the 
main issue will be cartridge supply and durability of the printer itself.

All the best
Dirk
