The pigmented inks I have are called Magic Mix, the black is one of
the MIS inks. I can print on fabric or paper and hold it under running
water, no running or bleeding at all.

If I wash the fabric, some of the ink will come out, but I recently
found out that I need to let it dry longer on fabric, on the order of
weeks rather than hours or days.

At this moment I only have one printer with those inks in it, a rather
spendy Epson 5000 6 color 2880dpi 13" wide printer that I'd rather not
risk. Although it does have a board-straight paper path.

And at this moment I'm supposed to be doing something other than
hanging out in Yahoogroups. ;')
