Digital BW, The Print

Hi Wayne-

I've had the 3200 for a few months, and I am very happy with it.

The biggest improvement is certainly with matte (and to a lesser extent, but
still noticeable with gloss) media and saturated reds, especially dark
saturated reds. For most photography not a big issue, but welcome
nonetheless. For painting reproductions, a big improvement.

I don't believe the reds are going to be improved in the z3100 [image:

The other big improvement is the ability to adjust how much GE you use. I
had printed on GFS with the 3100, bad gloss diff and bronzing. The 3200 and
the 3100 with the new driver allows GE to be adjusted by a large degree,
both less and more GE. GFS prints beautifully!

You can choose whether or not to cut the leading edge of gloss papers- Nice!
But I can't figure out why you would want cut them; that's another story.
You can choose to skip the alignment check when you load sheet paper, which
for quick proofs is helpful. For final prints, I always check the alignment.

The new HP Baryte paper is beautiful, and I have been very happy with the
B/W as well as the color prints on it. So far, the nicest B/W paper I've
printed on. Nice finish, and nice feel.
