Re: [Digital BW] Epson C84 with MIS EZ inks?

2004-04-27 by Justin Florentine

I've been toying with the EZ / C84 combo.  I'll be submitting images
made with it in the May print exchange.  This combination is not only
effective, but it rivals my 2200 with QTR.  C84 has better shadow detail
than the 2200 prints, but the 2200 were sharper.

I biggest plus however was the output on semigloss paper.  Looked
great.  C84 is also dead simple to use.  No curves, no RIP.
