Based on some recent comments about color problems with Windows 11 I did a test, I'm currently running several notebooks on W10, all configured with very similar software - i1profiler and Qimage for printing with icc profiles. I upgraded a smaller notebook - rarely used at this time - to...

I made another test to compare profiles with based on different patch sheet counts and the impact onto actual prints. I did this - - I created several icc-profiles with 96 - 283 -720 - 1440 - 2880 color patches onto the same paper type, a glossy cast coated 210 gr paper by the Action thrift...

Epson is running a cashback action in Germany - and advertising a new model of an Ecotankprinter at the same time - bigger than all previous Ecotank printers ; I haven't seen any technical data yet - it appears to be an A2 desktop combo ... and Usain Bolt is apparently happy with it - he just...

I just changed the waste ink pads on my L805 - photo 6 inks A4 - the first time after 51 788 pages with lots of images - probably 8000 - 10 000 A4 - on temporary display and give away at a dancing school. I'm running the printer with the Epson 106 inks, access to the waste bin is quite easy -...

I recently got a Megatank G1520 printer by a friend of mine, he told me to install and activate the printer and use it for a while, he got the printer as a bargain but actually is looking for some other model with a scanner and more options. This was an opportunity to do some testing with this...

I started a litle fading test with these Epson and Canon inks - Epson 106 114 T54C and Canon GI-53, all inks used in some type of Epson or Canon photo printers, I'm using these papers for this test - a HP Premium Plus Photo Paper - a Glossy 300 RC paper via ac-concept/Ebay and a cc-paper...

There is a question lingering in the background how many colors are necessary on a profiling target to get a (very) good (good enough) icm color profile; I made an attempt more than a year ago but did not come to a conclusion so I have a reason to make another attempt, and I like to post some of...

There is a pretty fundamental change coming up for printer drivers over the next years for Windows users, and I only would recommend that Windows users become familiar with the changes. Since there is plenty information available on the internet already I'm just posting one link here describing...

I'm just starting a fading test by keeping the patch sheets in the dark - in a normal living room environment in a cabinet. I did already some similar test a while ago going after a slightly different question - how long should I wait scanning a patch sheet to create a profile - 30 minutes or 3...

Epson is offering a wide range of tanksystem/ Ecotank printers with bottled inks, but it is quite difficult - not so say impossible to understand which inks perform better in terms of longterm/fading stability beyond a vague statement that prints will last for generations to come. So there is a...
