Subject: [Leica] Inkjet Print Life

I have a friend who has been told that her Canon i9900 prints will not have 
a quality life beyond 2 or 3 years and she is so upset she is thinking about 
buying a new printer. I told her that I didn't think she should be so 
worried and that I thought the quality life of an inkjet photograph had more 
to do with the ink and paper used.

 

In fact, I think that if she were to use the high quality Canon recommended 
paper along with her normal canon replacement inks that her prints should 
have a life approximately equal to other printers of equal value. Thus, I 
would think that, if her prints are under glass, they should have a life of 
at least 50 or more years. Can any of you help me with this issue?

 

Jim
