The hextone printers have somewhat less dense dots than the C82 or C84.
That is, the hextone printers are very slightly smoother in the highlights.


The C82 & C84 have smoothness that is essentially the same as the high-end
UltraChrome printers (2200, 7600 and 9600) using the Image Print RIP,
according to my tests.  Not bad for a $70 (plus or minus whatever) printer.
No printer can make a more archival print than the C82 or C84 using the MIS
EZ inks and a good cotton paper, like Epson PremierArt matte Scrapbook
paper.
