Re: Epson 4000 BO and profiling

2004-05-12 by Scott Graham

It is warm, and I don't like it.  That is why I don't use BO.  And I have suffered enough 
clogs with "foreign" inks.  Besides I won't switch unless forced to.  Too much hassle.  Been 
there.

You might not need custom profiles with the 4000 though.  Bug me in a couple of days 
and I might know.
