Digital BW, The Print

Hi Bob,

That's absolutely true. I totally agree with you but circumstances
are, I've no access to a 4000 with Imageprint RIP (therefore the need
to rely on other's word).

I'm about to attend this thursday an Epson Print Academy where they
will showcase a digital workflow with the 4800. I will eyeball how the
4800 ABW performs but I still have no comparisons for the
4000+ImageprintRIP. I have seen enough silver prints to know what I
like tho.

On the other hand, 4000s are on firesale now (usd$1000, $2200 for the
4800: prices in Malaysia are a bit inflated) and I do not have to swap
PK and MK with the Imageprint RIP for neutral BW.

Any suggestions short of someone sending me a 4000 print?

thanks
Peter
