Re: Epson 4800 vs. 2400 question

Hello Ginny,

>Interesting that he is so pleased with Black Only printing. 

BO prints can be surprisingly beautiful (for all the reasons listed in
the article), but not for all images - you have to be selective.  It
is weakest with images that have large midtone areas.  That's where
the graininess is most obvious.


>I assume that the 2400 can do BO printing. 

Unfortunately the 2400 can't do BO printing.  I'm sure it would be
very good at it (not all models do it equally well).  I have a 2400
but still use BO for some images that look better with it.  I do my
proofing in BO with an R200 so I always have that to compare with the
K3 version when deciding how to do a final print.  It's proving to be
a very nice arrangement.

Regards,
Clayton
