RE: Epson 3800 vs 4800 - any advice?



Hi Mark,

 

So you (or anyone else) happen to know the density of all inks on the 4800?

Camden,

The 2200 and the X600 series large format printers used the inital Ultrachrome inkset—the black ink is indeed very dense to UV.... slightly over Log 4.0..... just about like Kodalith!

Best Wishes,

In terms of black ink only, the 2200 is the best I've seen, and you may
not find a printer that can stand up to the 2200 (can anyone confirm/deny
this?).  Based on what I've seen and heard, the 2200 is one of the best
out there for black ink.
