Unfortunately, Epson print heads have a finite life and our X600 and
4000 printers are not reliably producing the micro dots - and I'm not
investing in new print heads for that generation of printer. :( So, I
can't build MasterCurves for them. I do make custom curves for people
who's print heads are aging and it returns them to serviceable
condition for awhile - but making a Master Curve needs to be done on a
relatively new printer in order for it to be useful for a wide range
of users.
In terms of gloss, I am already making glossy profiles for users who
want to spray their prints to eliminate any bronzing. I have both
matte and glossy blacks.
I will probably do a 2880 system. I have 25 2880 CIS systems in stock
but am waiting for a more perfect chip micro-circuit to use with them.
And I built this dual PiezoTone system already for myself on a 2400
printer which was new - so that model will be available too.

This system will allow you to separate the Selenium and Sepia inks -
or blend them, or split them.
