Espson 1280 vs. 2200

2002-08-28 by mike_goff

Hi,

I'd like to pick up where a previous thread (Comparison of PiezoTones 
vs. Epson 2200) left off. I'm about to dive into the whole quad-tone 
process, and I'm trying to decide between the Epson 1280 & 2200. I 
didn't see any strong opinions in the previous thread about the print 
quality of PiezoTones vs. Epson's new inks (except for Carl 
Schofield's article comparing MIS VM inks). So, I'm asking again. Are 
there opinions from folks who have tried both the PiezoTone inks and 
the 2200?

I've had some prints made of my work on an Epson 3000 with the 
original PiezographyBW inks on Photo Rag paper, and I loved them. 
Therefore I think I would be perfectly happy with PiezoTones & the 
1280. However, the ability to do arbitrary tinting of monochromatic 
images with software like Imageprint 5.0 is hard to resist.

Opinions, suggestions?

thanks,
Mike
