This is Durabrite ink. It will not say Durabrite on the cartridge,
only on the box that it comes in. The CX5400 takes Regular Durabrite
ink, while the new printers the C88 and CX4800 both take Durabrite
Ultra inks, which are even /more/ waterproof and stickier than
Regular (and also clog up the printer twice as fast).
C-series printers won't do CD printing though and thus lack a
straight through path (the path on the R printers is only about 4.5"
wide, not full sheet). I always found this irritating, because while
the R-series do nice photos, they are not waterproof, so if you print
your own CDs and DVDs, you can't have damp fingers or you'll ruin the
printed surface. I'd prefer having Durabrite for printing on CDs and
have the photo R-series without the feature.
