Re: [Digital BW] Epson 2000P what's different ?

Alex,

The original FS ink was based on defective Piezo systems, from what I can
tell.  The FS-N and re-done FS are as close to the correct Piezo densities
as the average PiezoBW inkset was.  (They do all vary a bit between
batches -- unfortunately.)  The 27% number is the old, defective system.  (I
sure hope inks with m = 38% and y = 27% are no longer being made for the FS
inksets.)

Yes, let us know.  There are some who think the 2000P actually has a
superior dither, being designed specifically for photos.  If you can deal
with writing the curves to control the inkset, it might make a very nice B&W
printer (though slow, I'm told).

Good luck.
