Cone inks vs. QTR or ABW with Epson inks

2014-03-31 by <dkosiur@...>

I currently use either QTR or Epson ABW driver to print B&W images on my Epson 3880. (I find selecting between QTR or ABW dependent on the image.) I'm thinking about raising my B&W prints "to the next level" and am therefore consideringt buying a second printer (R2000?) for use solely with a Cone inkset to make prints up to 11x14".

But before I do that, I'd like some input from users of Cone inks concerning the quality of the prints, esp. when compared to QTR using just the Epson inks. I understand theoretically the difference btw. the inksets and what they should be able to produce, but I'd love to see some examples. I don't know anyone could provide digital photos of the prints that would show the differences, but -- if they don't -- I'd be willing to pay someone to print and send me a sample of an image printed with Cone inks and with Epson inks.

Comments?

Thanks,
Dave
