You already said the following about the ET-8550, so no further tests would be necessary. Certainly no one is urging an ET-8550 on you, or inviting your self-imposed wager. They engage with you to counter probable disinformation, that's all.

1. "i have looked through the internet 100 times and not 1 person has ever done a test, so that tells me the inks are not good."

2. "and the prints fade within a week, ive done the tests, they are a home office printer not a pro printer."

3. "on eco printer and currently have a Brother eco printer for office work and have an epson photo printer that i use only for folder making did tests with all 3, i actually thought the epson being a so called photo printer would be ok , prints lasted 2 weeks before they started fading."

4. "with a print longevity of 4 weeks"

Epson 502, Multi-Color Ink Bottles, C/M/Y 3-Pack | Epson US



Original Epson® 502® Ink Bottles
is Claria® Standard Ink.

Original Epson® 552® Ink Bottles
is Claria ET Premium 552 Ink.

I don’t know what the difference is. But this ink is Claria.
I assume that this is the same ink (according to the formula).
Only Premium has a set of 6 colors, and Standard - 4 colors.

Original Claria is a long lasting ink (100-200 years)

Sorry I am not sure why you replied to me with the information about a US source of the ET-8550 inks.

What I hope is that the poster (A74me) I replied to will qualify why he posted a link, apparently in regard to his claim about rapid fading, that as far I read it......does nothing of the sort!

My ET8550 produces prints at least as good as my bust Pro 100 with far cheaper ink costs so I'm more inclined to make prints. I've had several A4 prints on display in frames for over 6 months from the ET8550 without any obvious fading.

Why did you criticise the ET8550 ink fading performance many posts ago when it's now obvious you do not own an ET8550 and have never made a print from this printer. You are posting rubbish.

This isn't how it works. If you make a claim (that ET-8550 inks fade quickly), it is on you to prove or provide supporting evidence that that is the case. It isn't on the rest of us to prove that your unsupported claims are wrong.

Just throwing out random questions with links to random irrelevant articles does not cut it. Sorry, it makes your claims look even less likely. If you think the linked article is relevant or supports your position, then explain how so.

the pro 200 and pro 10s fade in less than a year and they are at the quality of the top epson inks so im sure the 8550 fade quicker. how much ? same as my 49 carts.

Thanks guys for cross-linking his other posts "statements". Which highlight the disparities across his posts & statements and expose the nonsense of his whole argument

The more I see and read his posts it reminds of another member Shabang.........!

The types of post et al are in pattern and structure very similar.

I have Pro-100 and 8550 and in my opinion my prints from Pro-100 look much much better! Does anyone has an icc profile for 8550 and Epson Traditional Photo Paper / Exhibition Fiber Paper or 8550 and Canon Luster? Maybe I create bad icc profiles myself.

I like the 8550 I find it easier to print with and hard to tell any difference in quality compared the canon pro 100 I used to own, maybe the blacks were a bit better on the pro 100 but the difference in price of the inks is crazy for the expensive cartridges of the canon pro 100.

I have an older Canon Pro-100 and am considering getting the new Epson ET-8550. There isn't really any way for me to try out the Epson so I can compare the quality of the prints to the Pro-100. Does anyone have experience with both and can comment? I've read many positive reviews on the ET-8550. Thanks.

SC489 posted about a week ago that the ET-8550 prints were at least as good as prints from the Pro 100.
