Could be worse; besides, I'd bet those results refer to color images. In
any case, I'm using the HP only for pictures that get sent to family and
friends, i.e. glorified snapshots, which I used to print on RC paper with a
mild selenium-toner bath as a vague gesture toward archival keeping
properties. Any inkjet paper/ink combination that approaches B&W RC
lifespan is OK by me.
