Howzit deadshaper, The inks Epson uses are archival inks bu they call them Durabrite ink, but the bottom line is they are pigment based inks and won't fade. Most inkjet printers use pigment ink for their black but dyeibased inks for colors and the dye inks fade. I found a company that sell compatible inks that are pigment based inks. I think the company is named simply ink. My problem is my hard drive on my desk top died last week and I had the company website in my favorites but those are gone now with every thing else. I am waiting for a new hard drive I ordered from Dell. The trick to doing the white paint is to do it first then do the logo print, that way any bleeding won affect he logo print. Aloha,Kokua
