I've organized the tests with 1270 inks, grouped only by resistance to orange shift, using my exclusive Clint Eastwood scale :-)   Within each group, there is no meaning to the order at all. Unfortunately, resistance to orange shift doesn't mean a high quality image, and the best quality images are on papers that shift. So please read my comments before ordering a large quantity of paper. In fact, I urge you to make your own tests before ordering a large quantity of any paper.
