C88 - dissapointment at the beginning - is it normal?

2007-01-22 by marcinemem

Hello Everybody!

I have just received my Epson C88+ printer (D88+ in Europe). Because I 
am still waiting for package from MIS (with UT-EZ inkset) I tested BO 
printing with Epson black ink and Epson Photo Semigloss paper. What a 
dissapointment! Even if blacks don't look as bad as I expected all the 
rest is a way below my expectations. Very visible banding, greys don't 
look I would like them to look like... I used picture in greyscale, 360 
dpi but format was very small - 8x4 (15x10cm). OK, that was my really 
really first attempt to BO printing - ink is not right, same paper 
but... should the result look like that? I also tried full color 
picture and result, maybe except dark shadows and blacks in general, is 
quite right.
