Re: Epson
Hi Scott, The Epson 10000 uses the first version (I believe) of the Epson pigment inks. I had one and also an Epson 2000p desktop printer that used the same inks. These inks were, as you have pointed out, rather puny. You might try using all the inks and printing a "grayscale" negative or raise the contrast of the process you are using, if possible. Boy, the Epson 10000 was one hell of a printer—built like a tank and very fast and precise in how it worked—they really can't afford to build them like that anymore.

I am getting good results from my 2200 and 2400 printers but for making large prints I can't seem to get the ink for the color palette to be dark enough to get a white. Side by side comparison of color palettes printed on the 2200 next to the 10000 show the 10000 as washed out and weak. Scott B.
