Digital BW, The Print

How many people do you think are out there with both a 4000 and a 4800?
Even a 2200 and 2400?  Even if they did I suspect they are much more
interested in moving forward with the new machine rather than looking back.
All I am suggesting here is that it may be quite some time - if ever -
before you get your neat answer...unless of course you either buy a 2400 and
do the test or ask your retailer for the use of a 2400 so you can run your
test.

I have the 2100 and bought the 4800.  I think I have made it pretty clear as
to what I think of the differences (same image on the 2100 with MIS inks or
Epson UCs vs the 4800 with K3 inks) on photo paper.  The K3s, while not
perfect, kill everything before it.  The differences on matte are much less
discernible and probably significantly more subjective. The retained
weakness of Epson MK vs MIS Eboni has been discussed.  The differences with
respect to ease of use have also been made clear.

If you do not feel you have enough feedback/comments from that which has
been discussed on this forum and the various reviews I would suggest you
need to run your own test and make your own judgements.

Cheers

Steve
