Re: Epson R260 and R800

Mine did. I had some disks I printed a while back trying to get the image closer to what I had saved so I put a drop of water on one and it smudged.
Thats using a R800, still trying to get the image to have the same contrast etc as the original.
The disk had been sitting here in a pile on the desk for months so it should have been dry by then.

You will still need to use water Prof media the only time the printers print anything that is supposed
to be water Prof/resistant with the Claria ink is on Epson's own special photo paper from what I have
read and heard from people using the R260.

Re: Epson R260 and R800

The Claria ink will be slightly less water resistant as it is a dye based ink, rather than the R800 pigment based one, but the difference is very minor as said above.

The main thing is to get the special media, eg. http://shop.cd-writer.com/acatalog/A..._CDR_1742.html
