Re: Has anyone tried Cone K7 or Media Street G Quads?

Hi Joel,

I received a sample of the K7 inks. (on innova photo smooth cotton)
Very, very smooth output - the most photographic look
I've ever seen from inkjet.

The tone is very consistent from lights to shadows - and very neutral.
(Lab 50.0, 0.4, 1.2 and Lab 80.0, 0.7, 0.6)

The black looks relatively week to me (L 17,2),  about the
same as with Museum black .

It's hard to judge from a single print but for my taste
it might be too neutral for me - I like (very)slightly warm shadows.

All in all I think it is a very good product but I am still undecided
whether  to use it. I am tempted by the Epson K3 inks. (color and bw
from one printer)
What do you think about the new Epson inks?

Andreas
