Re: [APML] Printer Horror Story
Hi Robert -
Why Chris is having such problems with Epson is puzzling to me. I've been
using a Epson Photo 870 since ~Jan 2000. The prints done back then are as
fade free today as the day I printed them. I have noticed zero fade. I too
use the same T007 and T008 cartridges as your 785EPX.
I think Chris should look into the 2200 with the pigment inks.
