I use a VTBlax in an Epson 1160 and the FSChrome in the 2100 and I'm
pleased with both - providing you use the right paper - glossy is a
non-starter although the lustre is OK.
Best results are with the Fine-Art matt papers.
Tech support was excellent (and to be honest I did have a few
teething troubles) but it was worth the effort.
Permajet supply profiles on their website and they have proved to be
surprisingly accurate on the colour set-up. They also provide
Photoshop curves for warm to cool B&W prints.
You can but test sampler packs of the Permajet papers and I would
highly recommend doing so before standardizing on 1 or 2 papers.
