Re: Epson 3800 vs 4800 - any advice?
Jon, The Epson 3800 using all inks to print black measures about log 1.9 UV density. The Epson 2200 is about 7 stops more dense at log 4.0 Best Wishes, Mark Nelson Precision Digital Negatives - The System PDNPrint Forum at Yahoo Groups www.MarkINelsonPhoto.com In a message dated 2/28/07 11:46:47 AM, jon@terabear.com writes: Ouch. I'd hate to go backwards. The 2 main advantages to 4800 over the 3800 I've found is: 1) Higher capacity carts 2) The 4800 accepts roll media where the 3800 does not Neither of these things matter if I can't get reasonably comparable density out of either of them using black ink only though. Is the 3800 thought to be better using black ink only than the 4800? I'd look into a used 4000 as you recommend Camden, but I like having that Manufacturer Warranty in case there are problems.
