Re: [Digital BW] Low gamut pigments

2009-08-09 by john dean

Greg,

It appears that a lot of the focus on the previous Epson patent you linked to has to do with the pigments being able to be received by the rc media. That must be very touchy for a water based solution to hit that plastic surface, build density, and adhere smoothy.

Unless Epson doubles the permanence of their color pigments, I don't care what they do in the future. I'm not spraying them with that deadly and expensive uv spray.
