[comp.sys.mac.hardware] StyleWriter ink - water/sun resistant???

miller@rcf.rsmas.miami.edu (03/14/91)

A few folks have kindly posted articles decribing their experiences with the
new Stylewriter ink jet printer. The consensus seems to be that the ink is
pretty water-resistant. That's good to hear.... But, does it require special
paper to obtain that resistance or to avoid running before the ink dries? Also,
has anyone checked out how well the ink/paper stands up to other environmental
conditions like sunlight. Perhaps some kind soul would print a test page and
lay it on a window sill with a book covering half of the page then report 
back to the net after a few days or a week. Will the ink have faded or the
paper yellowed????

No sooner said than done... I have placed my other sample in the window.
We'll check it out in a few days. I think someone mentioned that the blacks
are not black like a laserwriter, but somewhat gray, didn't they?
