hobbicolors ink fades in 2 months

I made a post a few months ago that I was very impressed with
hobbicolors ink for a 5 color printer. Here's the link...

http://groups.google.com/group/comp....563a55a8198ac4

However, today I looked at the pictures that were printed 2 months ago
and it has noticeable fade. The paper that was used was the 4x6
Staples brand photo paper. Although the hobbicolor ink is still very
impressive when it was printed 2 months ago, I'm very disappointed
that it only lasted 2 months.

The photos were printed was never in direct sunlight. I'm not sure if
I did something wrong. Does anybody know why it would fade that fast?

Now, THERE is a patsy question for the inky-stinky Measekite if ever there
was one!

I predict he won't be able to resist rising to the bait, and bite like a
big, black alsatian.

The originally posted article by "theoryfordebate" is simply "Measekite" in
disguise. Ignore both, they're just trolls.

As for Hobbicolors ink, I've been using it for more than 5 years and framed
(behind glass) prints are as pristine and colorful as the day they were
created. It goes without saying any unframed, unprotected print will fade
in two months or less. I made a test with Canon ink on Photo PaperPro,
unprotected, not in direct sunlight and it went an "Irish green" in less
than 2 months. Happy St. Pat's day, but ........

THANKS, I didn't know that. Yes, my prints were not framed. They
were were just pinned up on a tack board. BTW - I was using a Canon
MP830 with the resetter that was made in germany.

My own fade tests resulted in the use of Office Depot Heavyweight Glossy Pro
Photo paper. Which ink I used didn't seem to matter. Humidity is the thing
that will fade them faster than anything else. Under glass, they're all much
the same.

I for one think your better off using OEM. Mind you Canon is not known
for thier fade resistance. Aftermarket inks are not for everyone.

Your obviously not that concerned with photo quality or longevity
because your using a Canon. If you were serious you would be using a
Epson or HP.
