C86 for color Printing.....OT

2005-01-17 by Douglas Meeuwsen

yes I know this is off topic, but I got a C86 this weekend, to try for 
color printing, and if it was not good, I was going to switch it to MIS 
EZ inks. Well, The prints are pretty darn good so far. Actually I cant 
get the printer to really work with costco glossy, without profiling, 
but it is perfect  with epson cheap glossy, and epson durabrite glossy. 
Actually to my eye it is better with the cheap glossy. The cheap glossy 
has a nice old fashioned non-RC feel to it that is great for 
monochrome, and is pretty nice for snapshots too. With Epson Enhanced 
matte, the output is really pretty stunning. WOW. Perfect color, 
perfect resolution, and absolutely no banding or artifacts on all three 
of these papers. I dont have a UC print here to compare, but I remember 
no being knocked out at the calumet gallerie a couple weeks ago where 
they had a wall full of UC prints. Oddly, I read  some pretty bad 
reviews of the C86. hmmmmm.........If the UT EZ output is like this, It 
must really be something. I wonder if they will have a bigger version 
of this printer, or if this one is already outdated. Pretty cool 
though....Doug M
