Epson 2400 thought

2005-05-11 by Bernie Ess

Hi, 
I haven't got the time to read all messages on this list, but one of
my first thoughts for this 8 cart- printer was to make it work with
UT7 (on a CFS) plus GLOP in the 8th position. This would make this
printer great for semigloss and glossy paper. 
With the 2100/2200 one would have to sacrifice one color for the GLOP,
the 2400 would allow to use all 7 colors. Shouldn't be to difficult. 

Of course one would have to wait how the UC3 inks work, maybe they
come closer to the holy grail of inkjet printing, but with a high
output there is still the price issue - at least for me - I always
found the cartridges too expensive to change them all the time which
is inevitable when printing 11x14 or even 13x19. Here in Europe we pay
considerably more for Epson carts than you do in the US: The current
avarage price for a 2100 cart is 17 Euro (about 21,7 USD). I wont pay
that, as long as I am not paid for my prints.

Regards, Bernie
