Liz,
Is the Kodak ink waterproof? We need to print labels for our market
packages but they have to withstand some amount of rain and still be
legible/attractive. The Epson ink works well for this, but I find my
C-84 (2-3 years old) is beginning to have more and more ink clogs that
need the cleaning cycle (wasted ink) to resolve.
Best wishes,
Karen
