#1121 – Double vision? In a print? Yes, it seems that an ink that is not formulated correctly for a print head can produce a replicated image effect similar to double vision. It’s enough to make you feel seasick! Read on for possible explanations, with illustrations.
Issue #1117 – Now, here’s an interesting one for a Friday afternoon. Pigment ink vs dye ink – do we need to know the difference and what difference does it make?
Issue #1115 – Litigators in North America are again having a go at extracting money from Epson on the grounds of alleged ‘wasted’ ink. Supposedly depriving the user of fully benefiting from their purchase, these are bizarre cases. It is my personal opinion that Epson is being unfairly victimised, probably for someone’s personal gain. Testing shows that it is not OEMs ink cartridges that are the worst offenders anyway – some third party brands are far, far worse.
Issue #1108 – If you think third party inks will give you the same quality and durability as original inks, you are most certainly mistaken! Following on from the investigation concerning the implications of the glossy paper used for printing photos "Print quality and durability – effects of paper", in this article we investigate the much more dramatic implications of using different inks for photo printing.
Issue #1104 – When two new products are placed under offers that reduce their price by as much as 66%, one has to sit up and take notice. Lexmark’s brand new Genesis S815 inkjet AiO and Xerox’s re-branded ColorQube 8570 (formerly Phaser) solid ink desktop printer are both being offered in the UK with £200 cash back! Note: Lexmark is offering cash back of up to £2,000 on some models.
