[Digital BW] Re: Glossy printing with Eboni -- who needs a 4000?

2004-01-20 by Barrett Benton

Paul,

This is great to know.  My current two-printer system is an Epson 
1160 running Lyson QuadBlack Neutral on EEM or HPR (doing 
nicely for going on two years), and an Epson 2200 for color. But 
the idea of eventually picking up a 3000 on the cheap stays in the 
back of my mind, and the work you've been doing makes the 
thought loom larger.  I tend not to hop around trying different 
formulas (as long as I find something that works well most of the 
time), as reliability and repeatability are paramount, whie funds 
are certainly limited.

Many thanks again for your efforts!

- Barrett
