using a pigment ink, you should be more concerned about the life of
the paper than the ink. Most of the Epson printers also use pigment
ink.
This is not the problem with ink. The problem is smudging when the
ink is touched with sweaty fingers.
And in the case of brass players, dripped on by leaky water keys...

The Epson printers are pretty much waterproof and my Canon is much
better than older inkjets. I think this is becoming less of a problem;
because of their use in photography, big things are happening with
inkjets. Has anyone ever seen a laser print flake off, stick to another
surface, or transfer to other paper? Lasers have problems too.
In any case, this is a good argument (among others) for selling a master
set of parts and a license for the original purchaser to copy.
I would like to find a printer (laser or inkjet) that will let me print
11x14 booklets for scores.
