Epson "DURABrite" inks are pigment-based.
I find they fade a bit, but they're not nearly as fugitive as the HP colour inks. This one has slightly cheaper cartridges than my big ol' WF-7520, and I've never really found the cost of printing to be excessive. Linux drivers aren't bad for these. There's the basic open-source driver, then the slightly better-functioning one from http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX The scanner's likely quite decent, but seemingly has a different feature set from the one on my WF-7520. Mine uses the SANE epson2 driver.

This would be a *lot* less hassle than the scanner on the WF-7520. These dedicated document scanners are rather good. cheers, Stewart
