1280 w/MIS Vs 2200, 2400 ?

2005-10-22 by djon43

Does 1280/1270, with MIS inks, driven by QTR, produce large *matte*
prints that look as good as prints from the 2400. I don't care what
reviewers say, I'm asking what you've seen/done...

I'm especially not asking about densitometry or what one sees with a
loupe: How do the prints "LOOK" as photographs?

I'm asking about matte/art/water color paper...
...NOT about gloss/semi-gloss /semi-matte paper. 

** Does 1280/MIS QTR look as good from 35mm scans as black-only on 2200? 

** Does 1280/MIS black-only look as good as black-only on 2200?

I suspect a lot of fine 1280/1270, 2000/2001, and 2200 printing is
still being done by fine photographers....yes? no?
