Re: Epson 2000P whats different ?

2002-08-22 by bjpm77

I have been using a 2000P for printing BW (with a CIS) for about two 
months now. I first tried the MIS-VM inkset but had bad 
posterization. Don't know enough about curve modification to solve 
the problem so switched to MIS FS-N inks in combo with the John Woolf 
workflow. The results are excellent. I also run a 1280 with PiezoTone 
warm-neutral inks. The 2000P prints have similar tonal range on EAM, 
though the blacks seem a tad deeper with the Piezo system. However, 
for many images, the warm Piezo color just won't do....

My 2000P sat on a closet shelf for almost a year after I became 
disenchanted with the effects of metamerism. Now I am making (and 
selling) nice prints with the machine -- which, by the way, is not as 
slow as some people suggest. Personally, I think it's worth the 
trouble to set it up for BW; mine has paid for itself already!
