We have real printers. Nem Esis YOUR POST TELL ME HOW STUPID YOU ARE. I DO NOT HAVE A LEXMARK TRASH. IF THE WHORE WHO SELL AFTERMARKET CARTS AND INK DISCLOSE PROPER INFORMATION I MAY OR MAYNOT HAVE TRIED THEM BUT I WOULD AT LEAST BE MORE OPEN AND IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR EVERYONE TO DETERMINE WHAT IS GOOD AND BAD. Somebody please stuff a dirty rag in this morons mouth to shut his ugly idiot face up! Thanks. Frank YOUR POST TELL ME HOW STUPID YOU ARE. I DO NOT HAVE A LEXMARK TRASH.

I ALSO HUNG A PORTRAIT (FRAMED BEHIND GLASS) IN A WELL LIGHT
KITCHEN FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS AND I SEE KNOW FADING. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS CAUSING YOUR PRINTS TO FADE. Sunlight... bci-6 inks are not very light fast at all. To be fair I setup a western window test.. direct sunlight no uv coating to see if the results were any better on Canon paper. I have to say so far since 30jun2005 I've not noticed any *yet*. For contrast I also have the hp psc 950 next to it also on canon paper. But the Kirkland paper... or Epson paper... forget about it. Totally washed out after a month... just south of the 49th no less. |

I filled a set of empty tanks with the Formulab ink from Alotofthings.com
and purged the heads with several test pages. Printed a set of duplicate photos on both O.D. and Canon paper and the results look good, however the Formulab ink gives me a decidedly pink hue to the color. The Canon ink produces a much closer color to what I see on-screen. "Dan G" wrote in message ... I just loaded up a fresh set of Canon tanks, cleared out all the old ink and printed 2 more test photos. The first, and obvious difference with the ink is that there is no more greasy black residue on the paper in the black areas. So that at least means no more inks from InkJetSaver will be used for photos here. The bulk BCI6-Blk they're selling is clearly inferior. Colors are no different in hue as far as I can see. Test pages with 3 color bars were also no different between the 2 inks. I'll post back in a week or 2 when I know about fading. Will also be testing a set of 5 carts with Formulabs ink in a week or 2. "Dan G" wrote in message ... I just got this response from InkJetSaver, which didn't really tell me a lot: Quote:
