Digital BW, The Print

The 3000 can't match the C84 - frankly, it's not close.  With the UT-FS type
inkset it can be OK for large display prints.  On the smaller ones it might
look OK if the subject does not require high smoothness, but don't expect a
total lack of "grain."

Subject: [Digital BW] Using Epson 3000 and MIS B&W inks - still a viable
option?

 

Sure, I'd love to buy a 3800, but my Finance Minister would not go for 
that right now. But I've found a little-used (but still being used 
regularly) Epson 3000 I could buy at a good price. I'm currently using 
MIS EZ inks in an Epson C84 and really like the results. My question 
is: will the results of using the large-drop 3000 compare favorably to 
the C84 results? I'm sure a 16x20 would look great, but how about a 
7x10 on A4 paper?
