Digital BW, The Print

I wonder if the 2200 printer, ink or Epsom matte paper was quietly improved during its life? I do a lot of B?W printing with mine, using matte black ink only unless I am "toning" it. I have never noticed metamerism or bronzing, but I have noticed that my prints looks superior to my old darkroom prints. Perhaps it is a result of personal preferences or the style of prints we make. I do a lot of "lithos."

  Jesse. This is an old printer and it's failings have been well documented. I have no experience of it's use with the Quadtonerip. All I know is that when I bought it when it came out it was heralded as a printer that could really get to grips with b&w. I really struggled. I never printed glossy on it, who buys glossy prints?Not my clients. It did produce bronzing an metermerism with b&w. we used to carry the prits around the house looking at them under tungsten, strip, halogen, daylight, etc etc, they changed colour as we moved from room to room. next to fibre print they were unsellable. From our business anyway.
