Digital BW, The Print

Mark,

As EPSON creates newer printers, each one of course is supposed to be "the
solution"...  But the standard is very hard to achieve for a company which
creates printers for a very broad and sometimes general audience.

For example EPSON is just releasing 3 dilutions of black in this generation,
while InkjetMall is about to release seven true dilutions of one black tone
in just a few weeks.

If we thought that the best print possible was created with three dilutions
of ink, we would have followed the trend of current solutions which use warm
and cool inks in a set. Rather we see the remarkable quality and improvement
of producing a new Piezography system with 7 dilutions - each printing at the
same time.

So while personally I think that the new EPSON printers each year are "good
enough" for an ever increasing percentage of the market...  we go the other
way, producing a more narrower focus of product which has to be "more than
better", which has to really satisfy those photographers who believe their
work should be printed and presented at the highest standard possible.

We look really, at new EPSON printer releases as offering us some
interesting options to continue making monochromatic ink solutions for.
