Subject: [Digital BW] Do Ultrachome K3 inks offer richer blacks?


I guess the subject says it all.  I have an Epson 2200, and I'm
wondering if the newer 2400 (or 4800) will yield noticeably richer
blacks or greater Dmax using Matt Black ink on papers like Enhanced Matt.

Thanks,
Robert Ades

You asked about matte black on matte papers - the right answer is no.  The
matte black ink has not changed at all.

It is the only 4800 cart that has the same code number as the 4000 cart 
has and that one is identical to the 9600 and 7600 carts. Both in 110 
and 220 ml.
So the UC Matte Black hasn't changed with the 4800 introduction.

I checked it today as I was interested whether some of the color carts 
(yellow) and the LK were identical. They are not.

The cartridge for the 4800 matte black has not changed from the 4000 - same
ink, same product code etc.  Confirmed from several sources.

Ernst,

Thanks for that; I only have a R2400 with K3's and the 2100 with old UC's 
and the matte black ink carts for those are different part nos.
