New ChromaLife 100 Canon Printer Inkset

Posted by Hemos on from the archive-forever dept.

Mark Goldstein writes "Some exciting news today for everyone who loves the speed of Canon printers, but hates the fact that they don't have archival-quality inksets. PhotographyBLOG reader Phil Aynsley has sent me a translated version of a page from Canon Japan's website, which talks about a new ChromaLife 100 inkset using BCI-7 dye-inks, with promises of 30 years light-proofness under glass and 10 years antigas fading when used with Canon's "genuine photograph paper". Let's hope it leaves Japan and reaches the rest of the world soon. " The archival issue of printing is a big one for people thinking long term - this would definitely be cool.

  1. Typical geek reaction by ChibiOne · · Score: 1, Troll

    It does not surprise me to see the typical geek reaction: "Gee, digital media is the way to go", "scan and burn your documents to CD/flash media".

    I will get modded as troll, but the truth is that the "Paperless Office" is still an unachievable dream: so many transactions and processes require an actual piece of paper as proof.

    Wake me when they last at least as long as their copyright.

    I hope this is sarcasm. The post above is gibberish. It's nonsense written by someone who doesn't understand chemistry and physics.

    If you don't believe me here's a simple example. Every time you comb your hair with a plastic comb you electrically charge it. If the argument above is correct your hair would fade from that (hair pigment). Does it?
