RE: [Digital BW] Epson printer comparisons plus inks

2002-09-17 by Andrew Biggs

Stanley-
 
please please please please post some feedback with IP5 and your 2200. I
have a 2200, and I am waiting to hear from the masses as to a few
things:
 
are the profiles worth the investment?
how are the b&w prints?
toned b&w prints?
support?
 
We are all dying to know!
 
Thanks in advance
 
Andy

	I'm using a 1270 with CIS and GEN4 pigs. My 2200 and IP5 comes
tomorrow.
	I have just printed a variety of color and GS images for
comparison.
	More as I get the new printer in place and working.

	I am looking for feedback from anyone who has used MIS Archival
inks 
	in a 1270/1280/7000  and now is using a 2200/7600.
	
	For paper I use mostly EAM on the low end and Han Photo Rag 308
on 
	the high end..
	
	Though I do some color, I usually print from black and white
scanned 
	negatives. I print them out as warm or cool black and white or 
	heavily toned using the MIS inks.
	
	I am thinking that the new printers with the Epson inks may be
the 
	answer for what I want with a reasonable archival life.  When
the 
	printers get chipped, then I could use the MIS inks again if I
didn't 
	like the results.
	
	What are your feelings about the quality/cost differences using
these 
	two combinations of inks and printers as they are currenty
available?
