Re: Printing On Gloss...Possible with Digital B&W?

2006-01-27 by ferdinand_paris

My question was about whether there was some risk to the printer, or
perhaps whether using them in the 2100 with a different print head
than they were designed for may have an adverse effect on the print.  

After all, there must be some reason that MIS recommend Pro for the
2100/2200, and K4 for the 2400.

My reading of this group is that people are saying better things about
K4 than they are about Pro (esp bronzing and gloss differential, and
this thread is about printing on gloss after all), although this may
simply reflect the relative newness of K4.

So:

1. Is K4 safe for the 2100/2200?
2. Are there any adverse impacts on the print of using K4 in 2100/2200?
3. In a printer which can use both (if one exists) which is better?
