Digital BW, The Print

Hi Everyone,

Now that I have a new 1280 and 2200 I need to free up space in my 
home office by selling my 1160. 

If you are interested please contact me off list.

Thanks,

Don Bryant

I may have a chance to buy either of these printers at a good price, but am 
having a hard time finding a clear list of differences between them.

Will both accept various quadtone ink sets?

Will both accept a dye based color ink system (e.g. UltraChrome) for color 
work?

Any differences in dot size, paper handling, or other factors?

Finally, any other considerations that should guide my choice?

Thanks much,

Arthur Fink

Ultrachromes are pigment inks. The 7000 is designed for dye inks. The 
7600 is designed for either dye inks (six channels) or pigment inks 
(seven channels) depending on which model you buy. I like the seven 
channel model for quads.

In reality, it doesn't much matter - any of these printers can handle 
dye or pigment inksets.

The 7600 has smaller dots, and can handle variable dot sizes. The 7000 
is good for 1440 printing, the 7600 can go 2880.

The 7600 is considerably faster.
