RE: [Digital BW] warm tone

2014-09-11 by Elliot Puritz

Hi David:

 

Are you referring to the 2880?

 

Incidentally, alluding to black and white printing using OEM inks:  Have any
considered the Canon models with their Lucia pigment inks?  12 tones
including 5 black inks..intuitively one might expect the tonal range with
more black inks to be superior.  However, I am not certain.

I want to do matte warm tone prints sort of like the old Portriga. Which ink
should I look at?

 

If you have an Epson K3 printer, start with Epson's built-in ABW. You don't
need anything but what you already have.

If you have not purchased a printer yet, get the Epson 3880. That part is a
no-brainer. There is a smaller printer that uses the same ink set, but I
don't know what model that is. guys?
