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

Hi,
I wouldn't say the one or the other is better. My 1160 prints with FSN
are of warmer black (which I like), on the other hand the 4000 & QTR
provide toning.
This may be the beginning of my "Cold Period" ...
My standard paper is EAM, for the fine prints I take HPR. HPR reminds
me of good old darkroom works. It is not that pure white as the EAM
is,   but that's okay. The black of the HPR is definitely a little deeper.
With the 1160 you are limited to print on matte paper which seems to
be the standard.
Anyhow I'm going to make some test prints on semi gloss and some of
the other papers soon (Ilford, Arches, Canson etc.). I look forward to
that.
