Are you speaking of enhanced Generations QUAD inksets? I didn't know they were out yet.

Eclipse  prints beautifully on  my 1280 printer with the MIS Hextones and VM black. I would think the quads would be as nice, with Paul's
curves. Visually I think the blacks are nearly identical. Paul Roark says the Epson Archival has the blackest blacks of any paper's he's seen to
date. Eclipse is a beautiful paper, you should at least try it.
