Re: [Digital BW] Epson 4800... Black-Only Lives! (???)

2005-07-03 by Stephen M Martin

I fought the green battle with my 2200 when I first got it. I eventually got it straight. Is the 4800 going to be the same war all over again? That was a huge pain and resulted in a lot of waste.

  According to Epson, as noted in previous posts, it uses all three blacks and
  potentially some colour ink when "black" is selected for any paper other
  than "plain paper".  So you are looking at a greyscale with at least 3Ks
  which is why it is so smooth.
