The 130 is impressive, no doubt. The only problem is the dye inks
themselves. Yes, they are fade resistant, as HP calls them. But they don't
stabilize, colorwise, any faster than the regular crop of dyes inks. Meaning
that, if you want to do some serious profiling on these puppys you have to
be patient and let the color stabilize.
