Like the C66, the Epson Stylus C86 utilizes Epson’s DuraBrite inks, with a separate cartridge for each and every shade. Epson such as to stress and anxiety that these inks are water-, smudge-, and also light-resistant. We found the water as well as smudge resistance less durable immediately after printing than after several days of drying out. Epson also flaunts that several customers publish their pictures on plain paper with the DuraBrite inks. This might be so, however, the photos aren’t visibly far better than plain-paper results from most various other inkjets. And also they absolutely do not look as good as those printed on Epson’s very own image paper.
The result’s high-quality overall is surprisingly great. The C86 gains an outstanding rating for the message. Most of our examination fonts are quickly understandable at 4 points, as well as none– including extremely elegant, difficult-to-print font styles– need larger than 8 factors. Photos fall simply short of exceptional, and also graphics are just under very good. The essential problems for graphics are visible banding in default setting as well as a propensity for paper with a great deal of ink to crinkle: Sometimes, a notepad left sitting on a desk curled all the way up into a scroll.
Efficiency is finest described as well right into the tolerable range, yet not anywhere near the top rate. The total time on our company applications collection (utilizing QualityLogic’s hardware and software for timing, www.qualitylogic.com) was 23 minutes 10 seconds. That’s a lot faster than the C66’s 54:24, yet nowhere near the 15:48 for the $100 Canon Pixma iP3000.Photos took a likewise appropriate however lackluster average of 2:52 for 4-by-6s and 6:25 for 8-by-10s.
