I hear it said that the Canon ink fades and doesn't last as long as Epson's? I have an i9900 and so far no complaints........colors are very vibrant, not enough time has passed for me to pass a judgement on longevity........

These claims that people make, is it all hear say, or have they experienced it first hand? It seems to me not enough time has passed since the development of those inks or printers........can anyone back this claim up? Just curious....

Thanks for the link. Man, that has to be the hardest to read website ever!

Looks like some good info in there, but I hope I don't go blind looking at it.
