Re: R1800 Received

2007-03-16 by Steve

Just seems like someone aught to be able to put out a good product at 
a reasonable price. The prices Epson charges for ink seriously affect 
how much printing I'm able to do.  
I guess ink/carts must be more complicated than they look.

Off topic here, I guess...

Besides the banding problem, the color from the Epson inks is just so 
much better than the Generations.  Really, the Generations prints 
look to be about 20% desaturated versions of the Epson prints.

Back on topic....

I'm surprised at how good the black and white output is from the 
R1800.  On mat paper, the balance is a bit cold.  On glossy, it seems 
right on.
A close look shows that the tonal transitions aren't what I would 
like them to be, but I could show an 8x10 to a non-photographer and 
they'd be thrilled.
