Re: New graduated black inks - beta testers wanted please

2007-03-03 by Nancy Wilson

Hello, 

I have an Epson 2200 and would be interested in testing your new inks 
but would first also like more answers.  First, Steven's questions 
below:

> A) Do you plan to have US distribution? Not much point in trying 
them if I won't use them later due to shipping expenses and delays.
> 
> B) Will your US price be competitive with MIS' price?
> 
> C) Is it possible to get a gray distribution swatch of some flavor? 
> I'd like to see the raw undiluted color and density in each of the 
> R1800 inks. (2200 inks)
> 
> D) At least 50% of my printing is sepia, and I mean deep sepia, not 
> the carbon-ink warmtone. Will these inks produce deep sepia as you 
> want us to test them, or will that require a mix of the color set 
and the 'Black Art' set? 
> 
> E) Some one already posed the matte or glossy question, but that is 
> very much of interest to me also.

Then I have my own questions:

You want the beta testers to test the ink with a variety of papers. 

1.  Are you providing the papers so that the test runs are equal?

2.  Does your system use its own RIP?

3.  Is this a continuous feed system or do you provide Epson type 
carts?  Do we have a choice?

Thank you.  Nancy
