    Chromalife100 vs Chromalife100+ fading test, Update 18. June 2021

    That is also my observation. It is the same with Canon inks. After making a profile you see it has a pretty good black point on all printers inks. But fine shadow details and dark areas get very quick totally crunched and blurry. It got very obvious when I printed a picture with trees in a wood...

    Chromalife100 vs Chromalife100+ fading test, Update 18. June 2021

    Latest results from 18. June 2021 after 10,6 "Megaluxhours" To the moment Canon ChromaLife100+, Epson Claria Premium and Epson Claria HD have about the same performance. Also Chromalife Inks are here best with Canon Papers. A good paper in point of fading resistance is the HP Everyday Glossy...

    Pixma TS8250 will not start up!

    As you have only one button, unplug the printer. Then press the power button and still having it pressed plug in again. Don’t know whether it changes anything.

    Pixma TS8250 will not start up!

    I had already good luck with it when a printer was stuck. It seems that entering service mode also resets some errors. I have now a MG5655 on the desk and I could clear some errors, unfortunately not all. The printer moves the head, seams to do cleaning and it sounds all a little bit different...

    Fading of Inkjet Papers

    I have some older measurements with the HP Premium Plus Glossy 300: These are L*, a* and b* figures. With a Pro-1000 you get very low L* with a nearly neutral black. Even with the Envy Photo which uses only the three colors on glossy paper it is ok. Only not very neutral. Patches printed with...

    Canon Printer Dialog Box inactive options

    It seems you are on a Mac. Probably you use the color management of your application. Then everything is done by the system. If you choose ”Printer manages Colors” then you should have all possibilities. But if you are using a profile for printing, you shouldn’t change anything in the printer...

    Epson ET8550 - A little pricey but it can go further than you might think.

    What is relatively in figures or what do I have to expect? Which OZONE concentration is dangerous and is it still the same problem framed behind glass or stored in an album or box. Otherwise fire is a problem to all,)

    Chromalife100 vs Chromalife100+ fading test, Update 18. June 2021

    It is no typo. It’s a measurement failure. I forgot to cross it. if you take away the two non Canon papers, ChromaLife100+ starts to be better than the others. Last year I compared Epson inks the same way but without a logger. It showed, that Epson Claria HD is not significant better than Epson...

    Fading Performance of HP Dye Inks

    That’s the game. The whole discussion shows we don’t trust the manufacturers. At the moment i think there are only two testers, WIR and Aardenburg Imaging. Both do the tests different, but both show what’s good and what’s bad. This is the same like we do for free, because nobody wants to spend...

    Fading Performance of HP Dye Inks

    You don’t know what they tested and which configuration of the car. And no, the Problems with the Diesel cars showed again, you can’t rely on the figures. They give you a rough estimation, that is all. Canon states on their site a Japanese standard for the tests. Whether 664 and 102 are...

    Fading Performance of HP Dye Inks

    WIR 400-Year Permanence Certification http://www.wilhelm-research.com/eps...WorkForce_Pro_WF-C5710_Printer_2020-03-11.pdf These are also pigmented inks like in the oldest books and papers found. And also dyes can last long. Look at all the old clothes in museums. They have all been collared...

    Fading Performance of HP Dye Inks

    More than 400 years is proven technology. The eldest handwriten german book is dated to the year 780. So with a good combination of paper and “ink/india ink” or comparable it is possible and nothing special. Also very old books with colored pictures and symbols are existing. So why should it be...

    Chromalife100 vs Chromalife100+ fading test, Update 18. June 2021

    Hopefully. That would be a good business case. Maybe I have to call it a special vodoo sequencing inspired by ET.

    Chromalife100 vs Chromalife100+ fading test, Update 18. June 2021

    Hello, four weeks ago I started a home made fading test with Canon inks. My samples are inside a east facing window with a gap of about 15 mm. The measured temperatures are from 19°C to about 50°C. Humidity is between 18% and 45%. The light intensity is measured with a data logger to calculate...
