The Breadth of Uses in Ink Jet Leads to a Variety of Different Image Stability IssuesIn this paper we discuss what some of the current major issues are in ink jet imaging. Because ink jet is used in a huge variety of applications, the articles produced are exposed to a large diversity of conditions. Different consumers, often using the same basic technology, require different properties.Images produced by ink jet technology can be effected by light, water, humidity and many other factors, some previously unconsidered. How much progress is possible in addressing these issues? What strategies should be employed to solve them?We describe approaches to solving some of the wellknown issues such as light and water fastness, as well as some of the newer ones, such as humidity and ozone fastness.
