Re: Epson 4000 BO and profiling

2004-05-11 by Scott Graham

My blacks with the 4000 using UC as shipped and all inks, not black only, are 
stunning.  Better than my silver prints, which use a VERY slighty warm paper (it doesn't 
look warm until you put something cold beside it).

So why mess with another ink?  

and as you point out, the right profile is important, so certainly you would have the right 
ink in right

:~)

I am expecting not to need a custom profile based on 4000 demo prints that I have seen, 
but it will take another day or two to be sure.
