Subject: [Leica] Epson R800 Printer Results

Several months ago, after reviewing comments on the LUG and other sources, I 
purchased an Epson Stylus Photo R800 printer which uses 8 color UltraChrome 
inks.  The printed photos, using the highest quality settings, are very 
good.  However, after color prints dry for several days, I find cracks and 
peeled spots in the colored ink.  I have not experienced this with B&W 
prints.  Admittedly, at this point I am finishing up some high gloss photo 
paper that is not from Epson, which I am sure they would cite as the source 
of my problem.  Has anyone else seen this type of problem?  I never saw this 
when using my old Epson printer, using the same paper, but the earlier ink 
system.
