True but they never tested the total Epson Archival inkset again on the
same conditions and Epson Ultrachrome in general seems to be the third
in ranking right now of the three OEM pigment sets. Canon gaining more
and more recognition over the last years, HP very good right away. It
was a 6 ink system too which makes it harder to compete. I wonder how
its CMY would test against today's CMYs, Not that you would like to use
them.
At that time David Tobie made the comment that it was a prefaded ink
system and he was right, Epson had a kind of 1950's color nostalgia
posters made with the 10000CF on the Photokina booth, not very
convincing even then in 2002.
