Do not believe that. Do believe that as it is true. There are many posters in > this ng that have some type of affiliation with the fly by nite > vendors. Only a few and they supply this ng with the truth, something you meashershithead know nothing at all about. If you want the real truth go visit wilhelm labs. He's a paid shill for the major brand printer manufacturers. They pay him to test their inks and then to compare their inks with the very worst after market inks available. Only an idiot like maeashershithead wouldn't see thru this scam. One thing his report is good for is finding out what the worst after market inks are. This ng is the very best place to find the best after market inks and carts because we all use them. On the other hand, meashershithead has never, ever used any after market inks or carts. So who are you gonna believe? And that is not a trick question. Frank

If you want quality you have to pay for it. The Epson 3800 and the Canon IPF models are better on ink than the Epson 2400

If prints are mounted in a way that protects them from direct sunlight and put behind glass they will last a long time not matter what ink is used. If not then even the best ink and paper won't keep them from fading. I'm not familiar with Epson printers, my experience with Canon printers is third party compatible inks are just as good as expensive OEM ink. I would expect it to be the same for Epson. I think some Epson printers have chips that keep the owner from using compatible ink.

Testing by Henry Wilhelm would tend to disagree with you. See http://www.wilhelm-research.com/ and before you claim that you know more than he does please review his resume at http://www.wilhelm-research.com/about_us.html - Bob Headrick, MS MVP Printing/Imaging

Don't believe marketing hype. 2) Epson inks have no special claim to longevity. Given the right combination of ink and paper, compatible ink may well last as long or longer. |
