Re: Why bother with third party inks?

What Andre says makes since to me. 

 However, I am going to do both. Cone inks in a 7000 and UC in a 9600 with a rip. I am 
not sure of the greater stability of Piezography but hope this is the case. If the Cone inkset 
can approach the permanence of gelatin silver selenium toned archivally produced  fiber  
prints then this company is going to do well. There is ALWAYS a market for permanence.
