" I don't like inkjet because it fades very easily with only a few weeks after building and exhibiting the model."
Fading ink jet prints is not a problem with Epson printers that use Dura Bright inks, which are advertised as being fade resistant. I think some of the Canon printers also use a light fast ink. Apparently HP uses dye inks that are are not fade resistant.


Rick and Rickpink65:
"and the flaking you mention has NEVER happened"
"on thick card stock it (laser prints) will flake"
Does Ricoh use a laser ink formulation that sticks to paper better than other brands?
What brand of paper do you use?
I used to print my models on a Brother color laser printer, but finally went back to an Epson ink jet, because of the flaking problem on cardstock and most papers. I had one pack of laser printer paper, a discontinued brand which I picked up at a sale at a stationary store that did not flake, it was specially coated for laser printers, it is no longer available at the store, and having gone back to using an inkjet, I have not tried to find out if it is still available elsewhere.
