Thank YOU Steve!


If the carrier is the colorant and the particles served only as "bonding agents," will we not have both longevity differences and max ink load differences between papers/media incorporating/not incorporating the receptor?..

If we will, then it's sort of a closed loop system of sorts until/unless the receptor is so generally applied by all media manufacturers as to be as "generic"or broad of application as the current difference between coated and uncoated media.  

Just so no-one thinks I am knocking this new option. To be clear, even if the latter is the case, the technology could certainly be a significant enough imporvement over current media/ink combinations that such ubiquity could conceivably result.
