Hello--

I was just wondering what it was that made you decide to  switch from Epson 
OEM inks
to the Piezography in your R2400--were there  some aspects of the OEM inks 
that were not  
adequate?

Thanks,
Yeung-Seu Yoon

The reason that I initially switched to a dedicated B&W  inkset(Pietzograpghy 
by Jon Cone) was its ability to open up the shadows which  it did 
considerably better than the Epson inks. Secondly, was the fact that the  Epson ink 
cartridges were constantly running out of ink. So I switched to the  Jon Cone CIS 
system with the Piezography inks, and I don't have to shut down to  change 
cartridges. I also noticed that when the Epson cartridges showed empty,  there was 
still a lot of ink left in the cartridges. I would also say that there  are 
real savings as well in ink expense.
