Digital BW, The Print

I've been using a C84 with the EZ inks on Epson Enhanced Matte for about 
5 months now.  Side by side with prints from my Canon S9000 with Lyson 
Quad Black inks on Legion Matte, I think the Canon/Lyson/Legion prints 
have better resolution, and of course the Canon is about 3 times the 
speed of the Epson.  But I'd rather look at the Epson/EZ/EEM prints.  So 
when it came time to produce 750 or so prints that get bound into books 
as Christmas presents for various family members (a tradition of 20+ 
years' standing now - I can't quit) I chose to go with the slower but, 
to me, more attractive, Epson prints.

BTW, I'm using neutral inks in the C and Y positions, with warm ink in 
the M position.

I'm about to order another C84 to have as a backup, as I don't expect 
the C84 to have the longevity of the more expensive Canon printer.  With 
the $20 Epson rebate still on, the C84 is only a few dollars more than 
the retail cost of the included inks.

Cheers,
Kip
