Re: Third party dye inks

2009-02-14 by Bob Mertlich

I've been using OCP now for over a year on the epson 4800 and just recently the 4880. I 
couldn't be happier with the results. The basic hue's are different than the epson claria  
inks but they profile beautifully. As for fade the ocp dye inks hold up well. I work in an 
industry that gives me access to fade testing equipment and on my latest inks (all dye) I 
have tested them and claria inks side by side using a xeon lamp for 8,16,24,48,96 hrs 
(step gauge) and it compares well with claria ink. So far my black and whites are fairing 
well with no noticeable color shifts from my displayed and control prints. Just my two 
cents and no I didn't get free ink from them for my testing.
Happy Printing
Bob
