[Digital BW] Re: Print Exchange 4 Bernd et al.

2001-10-11 by Shaun Granleese

Julian - this assessment is based on evaluation by myself and my wife 
(she's a big time PiezoBW user and fan) under incandescent light of 
the same image printed on one half (top or bottom) of the same piece 
of EAM by two different Epson 1160's (one dedicated to each ink 
obviously). 

Conclusion: practically indistinguishable in tone and colour, 
sharpness, contrast, smoothness or any other variable we could think 
of to concentrate on. We both preferred the MIS FS actually. 
Confounding factors: incandescent light was used, it was midnight, 
I'm not the guru some of you are, I'd love to pay less for my ink and 
might be biased :-)

Bottom line = I was very impressed.

Since Bernd printed 31 of these comparisons, y'all will have a chance 
to make the same evaluation.
