Digital BW, The Print

Paul,
 
Thanks for your reply: really good info. And good news too!
 
I shall follow up on the MIS inkset and use my remaining Lyson inks for
non-critical work: they're "alright" but not great, unfortunately.
 
Thanks again,
Steve

Steve,

I've just written curves, etc. for the 2000P using the MIS UT-FS inks.  See
my information index at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/.  The 2000P
information Readme is at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/2000P-FS-Readme.htm.
Curves can be downloaded from a page reached form the index.

MIS will have the 2000P pre-loaded carts, with chips, very soon.  You can
also load your own.  The carts are the same as the 1280/1290.  The chip is
unique, and MIS has them. 

This printer may have the best matte paper dmax I've seen.

Good luck.

I have an Epson 2000P that I'm replacing with a 2100 (2200) for colour work.
I want to use the 2000P as a B&W machine. I'm in the UK.

So far I've started to use the Lyson Quadblacks with varying success. Colour
shift is my big concern although I've only tried Epson's Semigloss and
Archival Matte. (Matte doesn't colour shift, Semigloss is copper under
tungsten, neutral under daylight).

What other options do I have? Permajet don't support the 2000P and neither
(I think) do MIS.

Does Lyson Quad work on some papers? I intend to buy a range of samples in
the next few days to try out. Am I out of luck with the 2000P?

Anyone interested in my (limited) experiences so far or is Lyson beaten to
death on this forum?

Thanks in advance,
Steve
