RE: [Digital BW] Re: Ultratone vs. Epson K3 Inks

I've kept out of this debate.  However, I wanted to add just that I think
the 2400 prints I've seen look excellent.  While I'm not a fan of BO due to
the dots and color of the ink, I think there may be an argument that the
color dots in the 2400 do affect the look of the 2400 prints.  See the
extent of these in the highlights at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/4800_ABW_5-10_1600scan.jpg

It would be interesting to see if people could really see much difference in
a double-blind test between a dedicated B&W inkset and the 2400 prints.  (I
think the BO prints would be seen as different due to the dots and
color-tone of the print.)

Just knowing the color dots are there does, I admit, bother me even if I
can't see them directly.

I'll have some fade test data in a month that compares the K3 to UT7.
