Re: All that typing and no subject !! >> Epson 4000 report <

2004-05-14 by Scott Graham

Hi Stephen,

Nice report.  

I just got my 4000 going and also experimented with the color management.  I now have 
all ink neutral prints, using a CM method that I didn't really expect.  The ICC method gave 
me somewhat olive midtones, but the print driver method (recommended by Epson for 
B&W) gives completely neutral prints (cool tone). 

And I don't see any metamarism, in light ranging from daylight, to flourescent, to halogen 
varied from dim (very warm) to bright (sort of white), but maybe I am not fully sensitive to 
it.  I have been doing fine silver prints for 30 years though so I should know a little.  I 
don't at this early stage see any reason for a rip.

This is based on very few prints so far, and only on enhanced matte, so maybe my mind 
will change?  or maybe the paper matters?  I picked it for cheap to learn with, but it looks 
pretty good to me.  Will be trying velvet, photo rag and ultrasmooth when I get time.

Scott
