Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

I made a number of curves for the 2000P and UT-FS inks.  The reason I
bothered with this printer is that David Brooks is an acquaintance and had a
2000P lying around unused.  We felt if it was OK for B&W, there might be a
number of these things just sitting around that people could devote to B&W
-- cheaply.

At any rate, what I found is that the 2000P made an excellent matte printer
with monotone inksets.  It really pumps the ink out -- like the 7500. For
the matte papers, it had about the highest dmax I've seen.  If one compares
a 4000 matte print made with the Epson driver to what the 2000P can do,
you'd think the 4000 was a dog.

The heavy ink loading of the 2000P is not that good for glossy papers,
however.  I found that papers that could not take a high ink load -- like
the Ilford papers -- tended to be a bit rough.

I have the usual Readme file and curves posted on my web page.  (Index at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/index.htm).

I have not tried the latest MIS carts for the 2000P, but I assume the inks
are unchanged.  The carts are actually 1280 carts with a 2000P chip.
