This Canon printer is capable producing the perfect
print, it is only reasonable that many of these prints will find
themselves on display. In the past many writers have questioned the colour
fastness of inks used by ink jet manufactures. We have seen great prints
which after just a few weeks begin to show signs of fading due to exposure
to direct sun light, indeed some have almost faded away altogether after
only a few months.
Canons ink is colour fast according to the literature
published by them. However they do point out that their inks will
fade over time and prints should not be exposed to direct sun light.
We have every reason to believe that Canons inks are as
colour fast as can be made with the technology currently available. To
test just how colour fast the ink used in the Canon BJC 8200 is we have
set up a little experiment of our own. A series of test strips cut from
one print will be subjected to direct sun light. Strip 1 to one week,
strip 2 for two weeks and so on until strip 10 has received ten full weeks
of exposure.
