 Produce washed out colors on photos | |
| I've bought all of the Rhinotek BCI-6 replacement inks since I print a lot of photos, and wanted to save a few bucks. There is a Russian proverb loosely translated as "Stingy pays twice". Damn, it can't be truer. Photos looked washed out, not saturated enough. At first I though that since instead of CRT I use LCD, which changes colors when looking under the angle, so maybe it was my PhotoShop processing - not dark and saturated enough. I made a few photos darker, saved them as copies, and reprinted. They came up better, but some details were lost. Then I submitted both versions of these photos to the local lab, and they proved my point. Original photos were great looking with all the details and colors, the darker copies however were really dark with dark details in the background completely lost. So I let all Rhinotek inks run out and replaced them with the Canon's. Then I reprinted the same photos. My original versions were rivaling the lab's ones. So problem was definitely in these Rhinotek inks. | |
 Not the Canon brand | |
| Just a warning to make sure you know this is a replacement tank not by Canon. I mistakenly thought it was when I ordered it but I guess I should have looked more closely. |
