Gerald,
They use the same inks (same cartridge #s--the permanent printhead in the
new printer sprays smaller droplets). If you want to see which papers have
no fading, check out Bob Meyers' site
http://home.cox.rr.com/meyerfamily/epson/epson.html#conclusions .
Red Rivers, here in Texas, has a paper which resists fading with the Epson
ink, as does Ilford. The Red River paper comes in multiple weights,
standard cut sizes, and 100' rolls.
Also, someone has finally found out how to defeat Epson's chipped
cartridges just wihin the last 2 weeks--so expect third party ink
manufacturers to be offering alternative inks in the near future.
For myself, I've had my 1270 since this summer and must say it is the best
graphics printer I've ever had (and, in my environment, no fading at all).
