Who will be first to report on Pantone Pigment Inks in their UC printer ?

Who will be first to report on Pantone Pigment Inks in their UC printer ?

2005-07-08 by Tony Bonanno

Hi group,

Just looked at the little slide show at this site about the new
Pantone Pigment Ink set for Epson UC printers...

http://66.221.185.162/pantone-inkjet-inks/Pantone_inkjet_1.html

I've seen the prices as low as $45/110 cartridge.  Looks tempting.  Of
course Pantone emphasizes that the inks are a "set" and have different
characteristics than the Epson UC set and therefore shouldn't be
mixed.  They claim more neutral blacks and deeper, more saturated
color.

Would be interesting to see what these inks will do for the fine art
B&W photographer/printer ??

Anyone have any experience with this pigment inkset yet ?  Who will be
the first to try it and report back :-) ?

Wonder how they would work with Roy's Quadtone RIP ?

I know what you are thinking.. why don't I make the jump and report
back ?  I might down the road... but not anytime soon, too many Epson
cartridges sitting in my studio.
