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...

I'm not getting any notification e-mails anymore since a while from the forum software , I checked my user settings - I didn't change them since a long time and they seem to be o.k.

I don't give up searching for information about ink fading............and came across this report - it does not deal with longevity but with issues with 3rd party cartridges and refill inks for several HP printers - in North America, it's quite an extensive test they did, and HP paid for it...

I'm reading quite frequently a statement that pigment inks perform better in regards to fading than dye inks. I consider such statement quite meaningless since no details at all are available - which inks are compared - 3rd party dye vs. OEM pigment ? - or any other combination of inks - which...
