Print - Can It Be Made on a Computer
It's definitely easy to get confused reading this list. On the
other hand,
note how many people have a cheap C86 with the EZ MIS inks and get
great B&W
prints with no instruments, no color management, no rip, and not much
money
spent.
I recommend people get on the learning curve cheaply and easily. Once
one
starts actually printing, the issues here will have more context and
make
more sense. Although I have 5 printers within sight in my office,
including
2 large formats and a 2400, the C86 with MIS EZ-N ink is the printer
that is
used the most. 99% of people cannot tell the difference between a C86
print
and one made on the most expensive system. There is no inkjet system
that
can make a more archival print than the C86.
See http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/C86-EZ-UT-Readme.htm for more
information
on the C86, and http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/index.htm for an index of
the
other printer setups I've used recently.
