Two Different Ink Technologies?
➤ Can I use one EPSON Stylus Pro 10000 and switch between the two
different Epson ink technologies?
– The answer is no
– The user must decide at the time of purchase which ink technology they want to use;
EPSON Archival or EPSON Photographic Dye
➤ So how do I know which Epson ink technology to buy?
– This is very simple. Do you care about print longevity? If you don’t, then purchase the
EPSON Stylus Pro 10000 with EPSON Photographic Dye Ink. Nothing will match the
photographic quality of the EPSON Stylus Pro 10000 with this photographic dye ink.
– If you need to produce outdoor signage or you need to produce fine art or photography
for resale and you must have a print with a lightfastness rated at over 26 years minimum,
then purchase the EPSON Stylus Pro 10000 with EPSON Archival Ink. This configuration
will produce color quality very close to the photographic dye, but provides you with
print lightfastness ratings up to 200 years under glass!
