QTR-Quadtone RIP

That may very well be the case, but how do the inks perform in terms of 
longevity?  I suggest that one reviews the information from Aardenburg Imaging 
(If you don't belong, it is a good excuse to join).  Anyhow, compared to OEM, 
the Cone B&W inks don't demonstrate the same kind of longevity.

I would agree the Cone inks are consistently better than the OEM for BW - I use 
an Epson 7600 and a 1400 for most of my work BW work and a 4800 for color, Up 
until this summer my experience was only with the matte papers, did a workshop 
at Cone editions and will be setting up a 2400 and an 800 with inksets for 
glossy papers in the near future. I have been able to compare the same image 
printed with OEM using QTR, OEM using Epson ABW and the Cone K7 inksets side by 
side by side, and the Cone ink prints are visually both closer to neutral, and 
richer in shadow detail, and using the Cone curves provided in QTR, print with 
smoother transitions - Just a note - one can print all the stepwedges one wants, 
and measure them over and over - all you will really have will be a confirmation 
that your printer and profile are more or less working as they should be - the 
real proof is in printed image
