Windex, bleach, pledge, etc is not inkjet friendly. I've read where labs have ruined papers by storing them near chemicals. A UV Inkjet spray is supposed to help protect from this. My first prints from my 2200 almost 3 years ago still hold up well. Glossy and matte papers. One thing I did not like was Epson's Glossy compared to Epson's Premium Glossy. Guess the regular glossy was made for dye based inks? I also noticed that the Epson Archival paper had some slight yellowing on the edges where the new Enhanced Matte does not after 2 years. Here in New Orleans heat and humidity are problems almost all year round.
