Re: More R2400 ABW experiments + Ink costs

2005-07-22 by davecattell

An analysis of my first week with a 2400 and Epsons own inks

16 colour 8x10s 
7 B&W 8x10s
14 colour 8.5 x 11.5 
2 B&W 8.5 x 11.5
ie 39 prints

ink left
llk 0.3, lm 0.1, lc 0.5, lk 0.4, mk 0.9, c 0.7, m 0.7, y 0.6

One change PK -> MK

==> $20 in paper, $60 in ink, 
==> $2/print, approx $1.50 ink, $0.50 paper

I've only tried B&W without any tinting, mainly to get a sense of the
blacks. So far any deviation from black has been down to the paper itself.

Going by area one implication is that the ink for a 13x19 will cost
about $4.50!! I'll find out next week!

Dave.
