Mark is absolutely right. The Epson pigment inks of the 2000P adhere
perfectly to Pictorico. Some time ago I responded to a similar
message by someone else who said that Pictorico only worked with dye
based inks and at the very least that statement needs to be qualified
based on Marks's experience with the 10000 and my experience with the
2000P. Or maybe it is just the Cone pigment inks that do not work
with Pictorico?
