QTR-Quadtone RIP

I use printers that came before these.  My 2100 made decent digital negatives (adequate for platinum), but not good enough for silver.  The 3800 solved all my problems---it provided settings to microadjust the paper advance.  The 2100 was just fine for regular printing, but exhibited subtle banding in silver digital negatives.  This can be eliminated in the 3800 and 3880, but I don't think the 2400 has this adjustment.  The 3800 makes a visibly better negative even for pt/pd.

Digital negatives push the printer in unexpected ways, and IMHO, you should get a printer that provides maximum adjustability.  If I were in your shoes, no question at all, I'd go for the 3880.

Until later,
