UK Print Exchange-to compare different systems.

2003-06-07 by martinshakeshaft

I am currently using an Epson 2100 (2200) with the Archival Matte 
paper and Matte Ink for my black and white output.  Whilst I am 
moderately happy I would like to improve things if I could.  In 
daylight the b/w's are cold/neutral but under fluorescent lights 
everything goes a bit magenta (too much for my taste).

At the moment I am just doing work prints, but later in the year I 
will be making 50 exhibition prints.  My options are to go back to a 
wet darkroom or to improve the output I am getting, either by using a 
different inkset or buying a 1290 with a dedicated B/W inkset.... 
decision.. decisions.....

I was wondering if any fellow UK list subscribers would like to do a 
print exchange so we can compare what options are available.  I would 
be happy to co-ordinate things.  Just let me know if you are 
interested.

Cheers

Martin
