Digital BW, The Print

The UT7 or new (hopefully soon to be out of beta) 3D inks (no sepia) run in
the 4000.

 

I think the 4800 may have a significantly better dmax when used with the
Epson driver, but it does not allow the dual black inks of the 4000.  The
UT-3D should also run in the 4800.  (The UT7 or 3D print on either matte or
glossy without the need for PK to be installed.)  I don’t have either the
4000 or 4800, so I can only judge based on the sample test strips I’ve seen
from others.

Subject: [Digital BW] Epson 4000 or 4800?

 

I am considering purchasing either one of these two printers. 
Basically I want the same quality as i am getting with my 1290 with 
UT2 MIS inks but want to be able to produce prints 20" x 16" thus i 
need an upgrade. 

The 4000 seems cheaper if you can find one by around £400 which i 
would prefer, but is the 4800 that much better?

Like i said i only need it for black and white and would convert it 
instantly to MIS UT2 inks if i choose either one.

Any advice would apprciated.

many thanks
