SO what I have found in doing a little more research on this subject that I thought I would share with you, is that in addition to the requirement for the InkJet and not using off brand or refilled cartridges is that you check to see if the ink is pigmented, as it will have better color, less likely to fade or wash out, has a brighter crisper color as well. I just had a girl bring me a memory quilt to quilt and she had used a Kodak printer for the pictures.... and they were amazing. So I haven't yet decided, one article said that the printer manual will indicate if the ink is pigmented.
