Scott brings up a point that puzzles me mightly, having invested in a scanner and a low-end inkjet: Print longevity. Just visited Wilhelm and they have an article about the new HP 5550 ($149, 6 ink, 8x10 no bleed): Wilhelm claims this thing, on HP premium paper and behind glass, is good for 70-some years before fading. Seems like only yesterday most dye-based printers were good for 6 months to about three years. Anybody trust Wilhelm?
