Re: Glossy Carbon Variable Tone inkset -- Epson R1800, R1900, R2000

2016-09-23 by brian_downunda@...

From a colour ink perspective they're obviously in different families, one is K3 and one is hi-gloss. But the R1900 and R2000 can use x880 QTR curves (once you reorder the channels in the .quad file to match the QTR PPD file), so from a B&W perspective I regard them as being in the same family. They even share the same service manual and nearly all the same parts. I did say "physically identical". The different droplet size is not something that I've noticed with Piezography, but it sounds like you may if you're mixing your own inks.

I guess my point was that given some of us are using remapped K7/K6/P2 x8880 Piezography QTR curves on the R1900 and R2000, I'd have thought that you could do the same with Eboni6.

Actually, I consider them in two different families of Epson printers. The R1800 - 2000 do not have the LM and LC and add two additional colors, as well as a gloss optimizer. As such, the Epson drivers are quite different. The R1800 - 2000 also have 1.5 PL minimum drop sizes as opposed to the 3 pl for the 2880.
