Re: WHICH PRINTER ?



Yes, if used on the wrong paper. The question was with using "plain papers" and Epson pigment inks used on bond papers or proper papers (non-glossy in most cases) should hold well, as they are both waterproof and they use a resin similar to aryclic plastics as used in acrylic paints to adhere them. They are susceptible to scratching on hard surfaced paper.

Which Printer Inkjet ( Canon, Epson ? ) does the best job on plain papers. Has the least smudge, sharpest image, and the ink does not rub off? Is there one ?
