I'm using an Epson 1400 with Claria "clones" from LYSON (their XG
series)..Fantastic results.ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!.I haven't noticed ANY
fading using this ink and RR ULTRA POLAR Gloss over the last 5 years, and
NONE as well with the RR Metallic since it was first available..I have not
done any "SOUTH" window testing, however..Of course THAT could "TOAST" the
color off of virtually ANY media..

These inks may be available for your printer as well.. Contact

Best of luck with your 4880!

their best, the dyes on Canson Baryta that has been sprayed have done
amazingly well, almost at the Color UltraChrome level.  However, the tests
with another company's metallic show considerable changes at 50 MLux-hours.

My own experience with the Noritsu dyes on Red River Metallic indicate that
un-sprayed, un-framed cards on the mantle in a light room with south facing
windows look very good after one year.  I don't see any obvious change in
non-critical observation.  So, while I don't expect much longevity from any
dye, I think the sprayed ones will probably still be fine after several
years.  I expect they won't look the same after 25 years.

This is eye candy.  They look great, are cheap, sell, and are fun to make
and look at.  I just spray with Lascaux (non-UV), dry-mount on pre-coated
foam-core, frame-nail into black frames cut from stock, and it's done.
With a roll of Red River Polar Pearl Metallic in the 4000, printing
impressive looking display prints is easy.  No other print media has come
close to the apparent sharpness and "snap" these display.  That said, we
hang carbon prints under acrylic on most of our walls at home.

Thanks, Paul.   I really like the Eboni-6 on EHPN, but for some of my
images increased dynamic range and sharpness would be welcome.  I've been
shooting quite a bit with an 8x10 camera this year.
