Digital BW, The Print

Greg,

I have no direct experience with the Roland, but I got some sample prints
because I was interested in looking into it once.  The dots on the samples I
saw (a couple of years ago) where very large -- not in the same league as
the Epson printers most of us use.  Of course, things may have changed a lot
in the last year or so.

I think most of the big-format printers designed for outdoor signage, etc.,
use large, pure pigments.  If so, then the whole system is probably not
geared to the Epson viscousity standards that the quad inksets are geared
to.

Bottom line -- see samples and get a lot more information before you spend
the money on that printer with the idea of printing desktop quad inksets.
However, 8 inks is very interesting.

Paul
