What is Inkjet Paper dMax?

Dmax Explained

The maximum density, i.e., the deepest black a paper can reproduce. Depends on the ink as well as the paper. The higher the better: one of the most important quality measures for a paper/ink combination.

Density is defined as log10(fraction of reflected light).

Dmax = 2.0 (reflects 0.01 of the incident light) is considered excellent and approaches that of traditional photo processing.

Glossy and satin inkjet papers generally have the best Dmax potential.

7800 / 9800 Ink Tank Giveaway

We found some way expired 110ml tanks for the Epson 7800/9800 printers.

We have:

9 Photo Blacks (expire 6/2007)
6 Yellows (expire 10/2007)

Our understanding of the expiration date is that inks contain organic compounds which puts them in a regulated category. The government requires expirations on such items.

We've used expired inks since starting in 1997 and have never killed a machine.

First emails to dhendrix@redriverpaper.com take them.

These are offered as-is and it is buyer (taker) beware.
