4x6 Kirkland Photo paper |
|
|
Many of us have been using the Kirkland glossy photo paper in Canon printers
and have found it to be excellent. It comes in 8.5x11 size in boxes of 125
sheets for $19 US. I see that they now have what is labeled as the same
paper in 4x6 size. Although the labeling is the same, the 8.5x11 is a
slightly different weight and thickness and is made in Switzerland. The 4x6
size (300 sheets for just under $14) is made in the USA. Anyone have
experience with both and can give the group some advice. Same quality and
color response? |

While I posted the fact Kirkland paper was now available in the 4x6 |
size about 2 weeks ago, I did not notice the new size being made in
the U.S.
Since I use Kirkland paper I would also like to know if there is any
visible difference noted.

A followup - I purchased the 4x6 paper and did 30+ prints. Good, smooth
glossy surface and weight, no bronzing, and the paper comes out of the
printer with a reasonably dry feel. As compared to the Swiss-made 8.5x11
Kirkland paper, the 4x6 sheets, made in the US, have a slight Ivory tint.
This different color base imparts a slightly yellow/orange cast to skin
tones, and doesn't have the "crisp" whites and highlights that the
Swiss-made paper provides. Too bad they didn't just package their same
Swiss-made paper in the new size format! I'll use up the 4x6 paper I bought
on quick prints I give away to others and continue to cut up the 8.5x11
paper for my own 4x6 borderless printing.

THAT IS NICE BUT THAT IS USING AFTERMARKET INK SO THE TESTING IS |
SUBJECT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE USING CANON OEM INK WHICH
IS WHAT THE VERY VERY VAST MAJORITY OF CANON USERS HAVE IN THEIR
PRINTER. I HAVE ASKED COSTCO SHOPPERS MANY TIMES AT THE PAPER SECTION
WHAT INK THEY HAVE IN THEIR PRINTER AND ALL EXCEPT ONE PERSON SAID CANON
INK. THE OTHER TOLD ME HE IS SWTICHING BACK TO CANON AS SOON AS HIS NEW
PRINTHEAD COMES IN. THE AFTERMARKET STUFF CLOGGED HIS HEAD AND COST HIM
MONEY.

Your survey is subject because you are asking people in a store in the
place that they sell OEM ink, one of the best deals for OEM ink. And
your logic is suspect because even if the ink the gent used was
responcible for a printhead clog... we have to ask the following
1. How much ink did they use
2. How much would it cost if OEM ink was used
And the simple fact of the matter is canon heads have a limited
lifespan.... which is there and abouts of 10 cartridge changes... and
"that's it". If you print more than that OEM or otherwise your above
and beyond what it's designed to do and any failure is part of it's
design.
You sir are obsessed with ink. |

Zake - Since ink is a big subject on this NG I will add a comment. I was
away for about a month and when I came back I ran one light cleaning cycle
before starting to print and the printer worked just fine. No problems. no
clogs. No color shifts. No banding. MIS ink. Under normal circumstances I
would print at lease once or more a week, but this month's hiatus certainly
speaks well for the MIS ink and the clogging claims of our resident Troll.

Yeah Burt we have had similar experience when we go away for extended
periods of time. MIS after market inks have never ever clogged any one
of our printers.
It simply has not happened. This is great testimony for after market
inks from actual users, not from losers who are not users! :-)
Frank
AFTERMARKET INKS HAVE A HIGHER PROPENSITY TO CLOG THAN CANON INK. CANON
INKS ARE HIGHER QUALITY. CANON INKS ARE DESIGNED FOR THE CANON PRINTER
BY CANON ENGINEERS AS PART OF THE PRINTER.

i see you lie. if they so bad why they so many use them. you think all

The problem is we are talking about a specific product..... MIS from
inksupply.com... a vender. It works just great... just like that
pcword artical you linked us to a while back listed a couple of after
market venders as being "comparable" to OEM the product we're using
works just fine. It's not a grand conspiricy nor an evil plot for
world domination.... just the simple truth.
And why on gaia's green earth are you so obsessed with "canon" ink? |
