Digital BW, The Print

Hi Walker,

Actually the these printers will have 8 channels just like the K3.
That was disturbing to find out and one reason I'm looking closely at
HP. They are K3 printers with a vivid magenta. They changed the entire
ink formula though to the point that you need one of these new
printers to use them. So they say. You'll find a way to put them in a
9600 though won't you :-).

So the worse part of that is you still have to switch out the MK and
PK for different media. They only fixed that in the 64" model.

The new 4880, 7880, 9880 Epson printers will have nine channels (full
time MK PK). So you will eventually be able to put a Quad neutral ink-
set in and have full color capability with 6 droplet sizes. Probably
something like a 2 picoliter dot too. That will be the solution to K3
and its lack of neutrality and fidelity.

take care,
Walker
