Re: Quick Question on BO printing on Epson 4000

2006-01-04 by Steven Karafyllakis

I went through a similar transition with my 7600 and the standard UC 
inks; I don't remember there being any major problem, but perhaps 
someone else has more recent experience to relate? I'm now using the 
MIS Pro inks which are much better than the old UC inks: better 
color gamut, and almost non-existent bronzing on RC papers-not to 
mention a great deal cheaper. Highly recommended!
