However there are a couple of other factors that Arche has in mind. He wants to use a black only aftermarket ink set. That is a quite different application. Its still pigment anyway, AFAIK. However, Dye inks are meant to clog less. In the case of the Claria set, I'd love to see some comparitive samples. Purportedly the gamut is larger. I am committed to my 3800 though. Just to segue into the other important content of your post, Isn't a Segway one of those 2 wheeled people mover thingies?? Do they travel in packs around NY? ;-) 2009/4/11 Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> > At this point you should not be continuing with dye based in but segway > into > pigment as that's all your going to see on gallery walls and you'd probably > want that and to have a print considered by a serious collector. > Epson might be claiming archival attributes to its Claria dye based Inkset > but I see no sign of anyone believing this.
