Well, that's a valid point. But the paper is the predominant factor in choosing which setup to print. True, the ink may make some differences. But with the 3rd party ink I am using I do get the best result when printing on Canon paper and use Canon's suggested setup. That tells me the ink matches well with OEM. I agree if a wrong set of ink is used it may change everything into a unknown domain. Maybe I am just lucky to get a hold of a good supply of ink. There are really only a handful of bulk ink retailers out there. The first company I tried was OK but too expensive for me. I tried a 2nd and I have been very satisfied since then.
From: Burt on 27 Jun 2005 13:55 Steve - What aftermarket inks have you used? I am using MIS inks for my Canon i960 and others on this NG are using Formulabs bulk inks and carts filled with Formulabs inks in their Canon printers. Which one was good but more expensive, and which one do you use now? Your answers will be helpful for others who would prefer advice from a person who has successfully used aftermarket inks. I don't know if you have seen this link. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1003&message=12198835 A fairly crude test of color match and fade characteristic of several aftermarket inks compared to Canon OEM inks was done with a swab on plain paper and on photo paper. Certainly not the definitive scientific test, but it does give some good comparative information. Obviously, colors matches are best evaluated on prints as this is the way the materials are used. Nonetheless, you get a pretty good idea of color compatability and fade resistance. It looks to me as if almost all of them are within a color range that would work well with possible need for very minor tweaks.
