One of my customers has two inkjet printers, a Canon bought for about £200 (UKP) and a basic Epson which was about £70. I have an Epson that I bought for about £90.
We printed out a table on each printer which has various fields of various colours. Unsurprisingly (based on 'more expensive printer = better'), the Canon comes out with better quality print-outs on average print quality set.
The reason why we started doing this test was that the cheapest Epson's reproduction of what is almost a solid luminous pink on the Canon (and screen) was a considerably more dotty and washed out version. My Epson came out with a more accurate colour but not as solid a colour as the Canon.
Does anyone know what to look for in printer specs to try and get a more solid colour? The only statistic I can think of which might be relevant is the droplet size. Mine is 2pl. I think the customer's Epson is 3pl.
