Sure  there is. Red and blue ink to widen the gamut, and much smaller  dot

I had an R800 in the box for almost 3 months (don't ask). I finally hooked  
it up. The profiles are good and the performance of this unit is nothing short  
of amazing. VERY fast, nano dots, only seen with a 5x loupe. It makes some  
pretty neutral B&W right out of the box and the dmax on the matte papers  looks 
almost darker than on the glossy. Asolutely no bronzing on the glossy  
papers, since it does a balanced clearcoat. Incredible reds and blues (no  surprise 
there). If this is a peek into the future of inkjet, it's only going to  get 
better.

Looks like the new Epson px-g5000 printer wont be able to print
neutral b&w without a replacement b&w inkset.

That post seemed to be complaining about the lack of a light black ink. That
means dots further apart, but with 1.5pl dots, that may not be an issue. It
doesn't say anything about neutrality. However, it sounds like it's just a
wide version of the R800. Has anyone here used the R800 for B&W with the
stock inks?

I would have thought that with the lower dot size the need for a light black
diminishes significantly but what about cooling it down without LM/LC....

I assume the 4000 that is mentioned is not the A2 printer....
