Indeed Tyler.

After living with the results from the Ultrachromes in our aging Epson 
for several years already, I naturally expected that our brand new 12 
ink Canon would have the problem licked or at least ameliorated. 
Instead, I was shocked to find that it's almost as bad or even worse.

Let's hope the manufacturers are listening since they not only sell 
technology that doesn't live up to the advance press, they also do 
everything possible to lock out third party and end user solutions.

An extraordinary master printer with decades of fine printing of all
kinds walked through the room and glanced at the table. He picked up
my "gloss" print and held it to the light various ways.
Then he put it back down and as he walked from the room he said "why
is that considered acceptable?"

I just think we have some distance to go for extraordinary results
with ink onto glossier materials, I think the manufacturers should
know some of us are still less than thrilled.
