iPF5000+Ink+Longevity

=What longevity test results are available for the iPF5000 Inkset?=

Here is a PDF with Canon's own test results, plus the results of Wilhelm Imaging Research:




 * Note:** These results do not apply to the iPF5100/iPF6100 inkset, since the black and gray inks were modified. Longevity test results have not been released by Canon yet.

[|Independent Light Fade testing results] for Canon iPF5000 are available from Aardenburg Imaging, along with Epson K3 and HP Z3100 (the HP samples only have 30-40 MLux exposure and thus no comparison can be done at this time). While many of the papers are still in test, it appears that the Canon compares favorably to Epson. Looking at the papers that have completed 90 MLux hours of testing, the best performing are Canon Heavyweight Photo Satin 300 gsm, Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl 285 gsm, and Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308 gsm. Browse the results at the link above. There is a wealth of information included in each report about the amount of fading for each color at each total exposure level.
