Re: Need Advice with QTR/Inks

2006-01-26 by SteveZ

Fred, are you refering to the Epson 2400 with the new 3k inks? I 
hear that bronzing is less of an issue with this printer.
MIS inks are actually cheaper than UC inks, I've never used them for 
gloss or semi gloss media and was wondering if they'd give me better 
results of if there is a gloss optimizer that comes with the set.
