Pixel peepers? Sounds like someone has been into the LL Kool-Aid again.

The K3s raised Epson's B&W prints to acceptable, not to leader of the 
pack. Not by a long ways. If one is after the highest quality B&W prints 
one can make, one must still look to MIS and Cone. Epson's not playing 
in that league, at least not yet.
