[Digital BW] Re: Replacement For Epson R220

2007-02-07 by Robert Lee

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, just for the sake of accuracy, the
respective MIS UT inksets for these two printer families use, I
believe, 3 shades in 6 cartridges (R220-family) vs 2 shades in 4
cartridges (C8x).

Another thing to consider about the C8x alternative, and again please
correct me if I'm wrong, is the consensus that the C8x and MIS ink
combo is better on glossy papers, while the R220-family MIS combo is
better on matte papers.

give more opportunity for control, if that's one's goal.
