Epson 1160 vs. Epson 3000
2002-02-11 by peter_in_seattle
Anybody have any thoughts on which is a better quadtone printer, the Epson 1160 or the 3000? I know everyone has nice things to say about the 1160, but the 3000 has big ink tanks and can accomodate larger paper. Other than that, I don't know anything about the 3000's printing performance. I know there are more curves out there for the 1160, but I'm not too happy with the results I've been getting via the (Roark VM) curves approach... (too many dots except with the warmest curve, and then still not apparently as good as Piezo), so I've been thinking of getting the Piezo driver to use with MIS-FS inks. The driver should work with either the 1160 or the 3000. Thanks, Peter
