Re: [Digital BW] Epson printer longevity

2002-12-26 by Jerry Olson

Hi Ed,

I am satisfied with the Generations 4 and the MIS Archival color inkset.
I don't need any more than that;  now its just a matter of finding a
better paper that doesn't flake, and that has a deep black.  There is no
paper that doesn't flake that I've found except the Epson EAM. 
Unfortunately, they changed it, and now the black isn't as deep as the
old paper was. They now call it Enhanced matte, but they actually should
call it unenhanced matte.  It is whiter, and doesn't have the logo on
the back, but the blacks aren't as deep as before.  All other papers
I've used flake. Some MUCH worse than others.

Jerry
