[Digital BW] Re: Ultra Tones & Dedicated B&W vs ImagePrint & 7-Color

2003-10-31 by James Sims

If you check out Epson's web site and compare the specifications and 
benefits pages on the 4000 and the 7600, you will see some subtle 
distinctions in how they characterize the suitability of these two 
printers for B & W printing.  I am assuming that Epson would not have 
gone to the trouble to make these distinctions if there was not a 
reason to do so.

Sincerely

James Sims
