See the previous changelog.

In Printer Test Bench 1.4.1, we've updated how we capture print samples so the images in our reviews better represent how the prints look on paper. We now scan photo samples with an Epson V600 at 600 dpi instead of photographing them on a wall. Document samples are scanned at 600 dpi instead of 400 dpi, while Small Details samples remain at 2400 dpi.

For all three, we've turned off scanner color correction and enabled the setting that shows the paper's texture. These changes reduce processing by the scanner and help the images reflect the colors, details, and texture of the physical prints. Test scores are unaffected.

51 Printers Updated So Far

We are retesting popular models first. So far, the test results for the following models have been converted to the new testing methodology. However, the text might be inconsistent with the new results.

We are also planning to retest the following products over the course of the next few weeks:

We make money directly from you via Membership (which gives you access to extra features), when you buy RTINGS.com Merch, and when you buy a product after clicking a link to a retailer. Learn more about how we work.
We buy our own products, just like you, mostly from the United States. When a product is discontinued or no longer popular, we sell the review units locally. See what products we currently have for sale.
