Re: Epson 7600 for B&W

2009-07-02 by Bob McCarthy

I been posting a similar thread on the QTR forum so I was overjoyed to see an identical discussion here.

I am spooked by the settling issue that Mr. Roark highlights. I am not a daily printer, usually do a run twice a month.

I bought a HP9180 to do some testing and other than a bronzing issue, HP has made some significant progress.

I'm wanting to use either the Harman or Galleria Silk baryta paper. Mr. Roark's work with the HP Viveras inks, will that solve the infrequent use issue?
