Hi all I've been toying with the idea of getting a 3000 for 16x20s. I've only started to dabble with VM on the 1160 but like what I see so far. I'd like to know from those who have printed on both the 3000 and the 1160 (Paul? Jerry?) how the output compares. I'm assuming the 3000 has a grainer appearance due to the bigger droplet size. Also, it is a good idea to brave getting a second hand 3000? Thanks K2

K2, I even print 8x10s on my 3000. Sure some see the difference, but with the VM-sepia inks I don't. The standard vm might be more dotty with the cool tones. Paul http://www.PaulRoark.com _______________________

Subject: [Digital BW] VM output on 1160 vs 3000
Hi all
I've been toying with the idea of getting a 3000 for 16x20s. I've
only started to dabble with VM on the 1160 but like what I see so
far. I'd like to know from those who have printed on both the 3000
and the 1160 (Paul? Jerry?) how the output compares. I'm assuming
the 3000 has a grainer appearance due to the bigger droplet size.
Also, it is a good idea to brave getting a second hand 3000?
Thanks
K2

K2, The 3000 prints are too grainy for me. If you are using the PIEZO driver with the 3000 you won't see grain at all. 3000 printers are very troublesome if you don't have one of the good ones. Lots of banding problems, paper feeding problems, etc. Photo quality they aren't. Jerry K2 Chittin wrote:
