[Digital BW] Re: Epson 4000 B&W: neutrality and metamerism

2004-04-15 by Tom OConnell

Roy-

Another reason people might want more than one printer is speed...I 
can remember having 4 1160s all churning out a print at the same time.

But the 4000 is FAST...I really have trouble keeping up with it and 
it is very unlikely I will be using anything but that for 90% of my 
printing going forward.

I'm waiting for IP but have been playing with the Epson driver and 
some toning filters in the PhotoRetouche kit...very impressive...

Folks, you may not need a RIP with this printer ...I've only used 
Epson papers and HPR so far, but results with them are stunning.
