Actually Jack, they're "work prints" for mock up for book (aka "dummy").
But, if it matters, I tested my 3rd-party cartridges EXTENSIVELY against
the Epson originals -- in every category that I could devise (eg hours of
exposure to full UV, etc.) they were the same. I'd guess in fact that
they're made by the same Chinese factory -- tho as I recall the 1160 inks
are NOT claimed as archival.
In any event, I don't at this point make digital prints as final "art,"
but make no predictions for future..
