Aftermarket Inks Fading Fast?


Lyra Research, the digital imaging authority, has announced findings from Wilhelm Imaging Research (WIR) showing that the image permanence of photos printed with aftermarket ink jet cartridges and photo papers is far inferior to that of photos printed with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) ink jet cartridges and photo papers.

Newton, MA (PRWEB) May 25, 2006 -- Lyra Research, the digital imaging authority, has announced findings from Wilhelm Imaging Research (WIR) showing that the image permanence of photos printed with aftermarket ink jet cartridges and photo papers is far inferior to that of photos printed with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) ink jet cartridges and photo papers. The results of this study were published in the May issue of The Hard Copy Supplies Journal. The testing examined the image permanence of prints made with store-brand ink jet cartridges, ink jet cartridges refilled at franchise refill shops, and other aftermarket ink sets, using OEM and third-party photo papers. It also compared the permanence of photos printed with these aftermarket products to that of photos printed with inks and photo papers from Canon, Epson, and HP using the respective OEMs’ consumer photo printers.
