[filmscanners] Re: Canon S9000 test better than Epson 1280

["" <bobkehl@kvernkehl.com>]

Yes, Wilhelm rates the Canon Photo Paper Pro at 25+ years.  This is not as
good as Epson's Archival inks and papers as used on the Epson 2000P, but it
is better than the Epson 1280, which is only rated for 25 years using matte
paper.  The glossy Photo Paper for the 1280 is rated at about 7-8 years I
believe.  Not too impressive IMHO.

I love the quality (and longevity) of my Epson 2000P, but the Canon might be
a path to upgrade resolution a bit. I scan at 4000dpi and like to print at
13"x19".  That's results in roughly 300dpi, but I'm not sure my Epson 2000P
is benefiting from much over 200-250dpi.  The Canon might.  And 25 years
would be enough for my uses.  I'm still wondering if the color profiles are
any good, though.

The review does not seen to address the issue of print longevity. We know
what to expect with the Epson. Does anyone have longevity information for
the Canon, ie; has Wilhelm tested it?
