There are some reliable ink manufacturers producing inks for Epsons. Just curious if you have identified any mfg/formulators of pigment inks for the R800/1800 series. ink selection (pigment, dye, dye sub, etc) Pigment is supposed to last longer. It does last loneger when it comes to inkjet inks, especialy next to some specific dye inks used for photos. waterproof output My friend and I were able to wash the Epson and Canon Prints and see the ink in the water. Paper is more at issue in most cases, relative to how it is coated, as to whether it becomes waterproof. When seeking waterproof documents when not using microporous papers (bond papers) waterproof text may require a pigment ink to keep that ink on the paper without bleeding. ability to print reasonably on bond paper All are reasonable Pigment inks do a better job overall on non-specialized papers.

No, but I don't own either printer, and most people who have them seem
to be sticking with Epson, at least for now. These printers use several "new" colors (red, and a quite violet blue), which will take time to formulate accurately for the driver to profile well.

There is an excellent reason why Kodak uses a different light level
than Henry Wilhelm and his customers for whom he does testing. Kodak has conducted studies in homes around the world starting in 1987, measuring light levels, temperature, humidity and (since the introduction of ink jet), ozone in the places where people actually said they displayed or stored their photos. They did continuous, not just spot measurements (which can vary by more than 5X during the day). They measured over seasons. And they did full spectral measurements (not just "lux" which measures only the visible spectrum). All told, they gathered more than 100,000 light measurements (and a half million total measurements). The data was published in peer-reviewed journals, with methodology explained so that other scientists could see and reproduce the data. Then they subjected real prints and film strips to those measured conditions and compared them with their predictive testing. No other company or testing lab has done anything close. It was the results of these tests (still on-going--the most recent ones were presented at the April, 2005 international Archiving Conference) that led Kodak to formulate their testing protocols. It's important to use real world conditions to predict fade--if you don't, other factors, like thermal fade , thermal yellowing, ozone-induced fade, etc. could be the limiting factors on how long your print will last. Like so many things in life, balance is critical. |
