I'm posting the following from another list. It's about the Alps printer.

"
The MicroDry inks are fairly light stable (undergoing Wilhelm testing 
now) and are water stable, unlike inkjet images. Banding can be a 
problem. Color gamut is lower than any Epson inkset. They can print 
very well on good $10-15/ream "laser jet" paper, and other surfaces, 
using the underlayer (like a beryta layer in a photograph). For 
archival purposes, on buffered stock, its one of the best current 
alternatives.
