Re: epson 4000... I'm blown away!

Steve,

Anything from semimatte to glossy will have significant color shift in varying light. Try 
black only settings with the photorag. Black only is vary warm, but the photorag cools it 
down significantly, to almost neutral. Please try the BO ; with the 4000 dither pattern it 
truly is a new ballgame. Like I said, my favorite paper for BO with the 4000 is the Hahn 
photrag.

See cjones website for printer settings for BO prints. Do yourself a favor and experiment 
with this before $$ on RIPs,They haven't caught up to the 4000 yet and I've tried (and 
bought) them all.
