Epsons Newest Black Ink

Epsons Newest Black Ink

2002-01-15 by mkravit

I had a thought. We were talking about using the 1280 Epson black dye 
with the MIS VM/FS inks to get better blacks. Well Epson is about to 
release the new "Durabrite Dye Inks" with the Epson 8000. This ink is 
already available with the C80. Maybe someone could test this black 
to see how dense it prints.

The new Epson Durabrite inks are waterproof 75 year dyes. Yes, 75 
years.

Why do I hear the envelope tearing as it is being pushed.

The C80 uses pigmented inks, not dye based.

Murray,.

You are right, my mistake. The Durabright inks are pigments. The gamut is so
wide that I was sure that they were dyes. In any event I would be very
pleased with the 75 year life and the black density and gamut.
