Inks change over time, usually for the better. I never had a problem with the ink on my laser printer for addresses, and it was a solo practitioner type printer, not that fancy. Problem was it didn't photocopy. I used the photocopier at the other office I worked at (2 part time jobs = more than one full time job) which was state of the art, and there never was any problem. Now I have a home inkjet copier/printer/scanner/fax and so far there have been no problems with the printing, and I'm happily going around the roller for the first time. Pricking as I go. Hoping to pick up speed as the pattern becomes more and more familiar. Of course, in the normal course of events the lace stays in the house, never getting wet. I'm hoping to work outside in the shade this summer, and maybe with high humidity there will be a problem, but frankly, I doubt it.
Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, US, where I'm still waiting for spring. Very chilly, 43F, 5.5C and damp. And it looks like some snow is coming our way!
