It should then be a CMYKggg inkset as a K6g inkset isn't making it better.
An even nicer solution would be CMY K gloss + Kgg mat. Wonder whether that
is possible with drivers etc.

If correct, this makes the 2200 and IP5 even more interesting. 
Cynic that I am, I hope it's not another Foveon and that the Epson quad
inks don't orange fade.

This could be great news, when a CIS is developed for this printer. One
could get the large epson cartridges and decant it into the 4 ounce
bottles that the CIS system uses. Without it, the  inks would still be
way too expensive. 

Funny, they make a GRAPHIC printer, the 3000 that is excellent for the
graphics people, with huge ink cartridges, but they don't seem to think
a Photographer would also want huge cartridges.

I'm ready. After using IP4 on our 10000 for a year, I'm sold on the rip,
the fantastic support and the free profiles. John and Dan at Colorbyte
will go to amazing lengths to solve problems.

RE: [Digital BW] Epson quad B&W inksets for 2200,7600,9600 coming soon

2002-09-07 by Andrew Biggs

I am soooooo ready to see something groundbreaking from Epson. I just
picked up a 2200 today, and the color that it produces is very nice. But
I am really after the b&w output. Perhaps some friendly competition
between the ImagePrint 5 boys and Epson. This market hasn't seen enough
competition as of yet, and the rapid R&D that comes along with that
competition.

Re: [Digital BW] Epson quad B&W inksets for 2200,7600,9600 coming soon

2002-09-07 by lawrencetrek

It would be great if this rumor was true.  Then us black and white 
photographers could forget about spending $495 for the unproven Imageprint 
solution to producing neutral and metamerism-free prints on the 2200.
Or having to resort to separate dedicated black/white and color printers.


However, is there really a big enough market for Epson to develop this ?  I 
hope so, as I don't think these printers can produce acceptable out of the box 
exhibition B/W prints.

Well... I would think that there is a very large and growing market for
it. Think about how many boxes of B&W paper Ilford and Kodak sell per year.

Have you custom-profiled your 2200? I find the 9600 to be *very* 
neutral, after proper profiling. There might still be a tad of 
metamerism left, but it's almost unnoticeable. In my eyes, you 
have all the equipment you need now to produce quality B/W 
prints; you just have to settle on one or two papers, profile them 
well, and then be slow and methodical in your workflow.

We'll see in the future what people report about ImagePrint. I 
trust Andrew's opinion, but there's also part of me that says the 
endless money pit of "needing more hardware" is over. The 
Ultrachromes in your 2200 are very fine inks.

Just one man's opinion. Could be wrong.

I hope to have some data on the open question of long term color shifts due
to differential fading in a few weeks.  So far, no color inkset has been
able to stay neutral long enough to be of interest to me.

As I mentioned in another post, a small gamut approach to these printers for
B&W seems like an ideal solution -- especially if there are color shifts.
The small gamut approach would hold the impact of differential fading to a
minimum.

I think the 2200 series might be an ideal platform for a pigmented small
gamut inkset.  It'll be interesting to see if Epson goes that route.  I'll
ask MIS if they are interested in pursuing such an approach.

I'm no expert on color, but I would think such a system might work with
existing profiling software also.  I assume the chips will be busted if they
aren't already.

I think the UltraChrome inkset could (already has) really set the standard
for quality.  However, the 3rd party inksets will probably be able to come
close enough to be competitive on the quality and be much cheaper on price.

  It would be great if this rumor was true.  Then us black and white
  photographers could forget about spending $495 for the unproven Imageprint
  solution to producing neutral and metamerism-free prints on the 2200.
  Or having to resort to separate dedicated black/white and color printers.


  However, is there really a big enough market for Epson to develop this ?
I
  hope so, as I don't think these printers can produce acceptable out of the
box
  exhibition B/W prints.

Paul, one company is working now to develop a continuous inking system
for the 2200. It should be ready within 6 months. You'll be able to use
any ink you like. Now THIS is what I'm waiting for!

>>Funny, they make a GRAPHIC printer, the 3000 that is excellent for 
the
graphics people, with huge ink cartridges, but they don't seem to 
think
a Photographer would also want huge cartridges. 

Tightwad<<


I think they base all the calculations on 4x6 inch prints... You 
know, all the stuff you do when you take your compact flash card out 
of the camera and stick it in the printer to show us your work !!!

Hate to tell you this, Jerry...but I don't think we are mainstream to 
Epson (or maybe anyone <g>)
