Do not judge if you see a difference (you should see a difference between every target), you want to judge where you would “accept” the difference.
Your e-Factor is 9.
An E-Factor of 9 is not demanding and is representative of how commodity
printers reproduce color work. Six of the ten of the largest Web to Print printers
audited in 2018 had an E-Factor of 9 or greater. You get what you pay for,
and printers that reproduce color with E-Factors of 9 or more typically do
not monitor their process hence the high E-Factor. Based on our 2017 TAGA
Research, 95% of print buyers would not accept printed color at a 9 or greater
E-Factor. This type of printer is probably running on a very low-profit margin and
barely getting by financially due to much of their production requiring re-run
and losing repeat business. There is no guarantee regarding color reproduction
with printers that do not control or monitor their process.
