  Subject: [Digital BW] Re: 2200 US customers assumed brain dead by Epson?


  I was shocked when I read the Luminous Landscape review!  Maybe that's why
my
  b+w sample from the 2200 suffers from magenta/green metamerism.  I realize
  now that when people talk about metamerism being eliminated from these new
  Epsons, they are talking about color prints.  I, too, cannot see any
  metamerism in color output and the color output is beautiful.

  And, Reichmann is retiring Piezo!  My sample comes nowhere near Piezo
  quality.  But, perhaps, he is a better printer than the Epson folks who
are
  giving out these samples to try to sell the printers.  I don't know if I
can
  trust someone who has re-done his online site in one of the most garish
color
  combinations I have ever seen.
