Digital BW, The Print

I was "sold" on inkjet prints for serious work when I went to a local 
gallery to see some prints by a anture photographer that printed the 
images on an Epson 9600.

His 40x60" prints were AWESOME! The images were made from  files 
scanned  from 6x7cm chromes.

In my opinion, the new UC K3 have even better "color" than previous 
Epson inks (including the R800-1800 printers, which in my opinion, 
was great, at the time.)
