Andrew-

The Wilhelm Institute
(
http://www.wilhelm-research.com/) does a great deal of research in
image preservation. You might check there for information on ink
stability from color printers. I know there is information on an Epson
Color printer - there might be more, or you could write them and
ask.

Good luck!
