Tom's Hardware Benchmarks Inkjet Printer Paper

Posted by timothy on from the this-time-a-jump-rope-can-be-hi-fi dept.

An anonymous reader writes "We all know that the specs of your inkjet printer, driver settings, and ink cartridges can make a big difference in the quality of your prints. But the cheapest and simplest aspect of printing can also have a big impact on the final quality: the paper. This short article is an interesting read, the author actually found ways to 'benchmark' inkjet printer paper."

  1. Why wouldn't someone find a way to benchmarkpaper? by GreatBunzinni · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A benchmark is a fancy word to describe a process where a set of items are evaluated objectively based on pre-defined parameters and following a standardized set of procedures. To put it shortly, benchmarking is a process to determine the best option.

    Knowing this, why is it so odd that someone found a way to test paper and determine what's best for a given application? Does timothy actually believe that only computer parts can be evaluated by potential buyers?
