Re: 2100/2200: BO printing: Epson OEM versus Eboni black

2004-05-31 by Clayton Jones

Hello Bernie,

>has someone experienced a difference in black only printing on the 
>2100 between the original Epson inks and the UT7 inks/ Eboni black? 
>Is one of the two giving smoother results than the other?

Yes.  My experience is that the Photo Black gives the smoothest tones.
 Matte Black is a bit more grainy looking, and Eboni is even a bit
more than MK.  I'm not sure why that is, perhaps particle size...

Also, the driver has two different dot algorithms.  For example, when
I make a print on thin paper using the top feeder, it uses a
single-dot pattern.  But with thick paper via the manual feeder, each
dot is actually a pair of tiny dots close together, and the general
dither pattern is a bit different.

I use Eboni with a 2200.


Regards,
Clayton
