Remko, The MIS UT inkset works on the 3000, but it is a bit rough. The UT-FSN is the one I'd favor for that old machine. It can make good display prints. I have some curves for EEM, PhotoRag and Premium Matte (but this was the original, and I don't know what the current version prints like). I see the 3000 as a bit long in the tooth, but for 16 x 20 and matte paper, it's still the most affordable way to get there. In actual practice, I doubt anyone could tell the difference between a 3000 matte 16 x 20 and one done on a 7600.

I now have the choice betweeen a 2100/2200 and or a refurbished 3000 I got. The ink choice for the 2110/2200 is more or less clear to me however the ink for the 300 is confusing. Paul Roark is speaking of a varibal tone ink but on the M IS site I only find FS and FSN inks. I also understood a good option is to use the Eboni black and Photoblack in the 2100/2200 together with the color-inkset in the 2100/2200. I hope to get some advise in deciding what to do. remko Please visit the Group Homepage to check the Files, and other resources as they are often being updated. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint If you wish to receive no emails or just a daily digest, or you wish to unsubscribe, please edit your Membership preferences by visiting this same page.
