Re: Ultrachrome Inks Issues and Concerns

2002-11-24 by Miguel Angel Aleman

Hello Richard and David (and others)

I also posted my "UltraChrome Issues and Concerns" note at the Epson 
9000 Forum where, with the exception of a few replies, it was largely 
ignored. As you well know, the same seems to be happening on this 
forum. 

I don't know how to interpret the silence, but I venture to guess 
it meant that within the context of the available options, 
UltraChrome users are quite happy with the performance they are 
getting from this ink set.

Having said tht, let me share me share what I learned from the 
replies I did get regarding "bronzing/gloss differential":

- it is the worst on Epson Premium Glossy paper (which happens to be 
the paper used in two sample images I had an Epson Pro Dealer print 
for me)

- is not as bad on Epson Semigloss

- it does not occur on Epson Glossy Photo (and other cast-coated 
papers)

- it does not occur on Pictorico papers

- and, of course, it does not occur at all in Matte papers

- and of course, is not existent

Please comment if your experience differs from the above observations.

Thanks, Miguel Angel Aleman
