Epson printers ... R1800, 1280, 2200 and Pro line
This is an interesting write-up from an Epson dealer on the new R1800,
comparing it to Epson's existing 13" wide printers (1280 and 2200), with comments on whether or not this ink set will migrate upward to the Pro line (4000, 7600, 9600). http://www.inkjetart.com/news/archive/IJN_02-21-05.html Bill |

I do all my archival printing on the 7600 using Arches Infinity paper, both rolls and sheets. The 1280 is used mostly for promotional material. I've considered getting the 4000 for smaller prints and its capacity to hold numerous pages for batch runs. The R1800 looks very interesting. So my decision becomes a little more complicated vs. the 4000 Jim Waggener www.dorothyfagan.com ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

So my decision becomes a little more complicated vs. the 4000 Jim Waggener www.dorothyfagan.com Its an interesting piece on the printer for sure, from a cost stand point. I can't beat my current 1280 with the CIS for promo stuff. Whatever I buy next will be for producing some form of Archival prints. I can't see my self rapidly needing a huge 24" printer though. Someone needs to come out with a desktop 11x14 RGB or LED image printer,..... (sub 3K) that runs standard RA papers so I can image retouched file and develop to my existing table top processor.....then I would be happy -- LF Website @ http://members.verizon.net/~gregoryblank "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918 |

But short of that, HP just announced the Designjet 90, which offers 18" wide prints and seems set to compete with the Epson 4000. rafe b. http://www.terrapinphoto.com |

Rafe do you know the MSRP here in the US? No, not really. It was just announced last week. But it's bracketed by the Designjet 30 ($700 street) and the Designjet 120 ($1200 street.) One blog gives an estimated street price of $1K. rafe b http://www.terrapinphoto.com |

What are you using for a profile for the 7600? Do you use a RIP with a custom profile or did you have a custom profile built or did Bill Atkinson make one for the AI paper? I actually get nice results with this paper and the Epson Fine Art - Smooth profile but am open to other suggestions Bill |

It gives me a pretty accurate print. I do have to tweak it a little but not much. I don't know of any Atkinson profiles for Arches. I have used his for Epson papers and they are very good. I really like the quality of the Arches and they are actually less expensive in rolls than the Epson. I buy from B&H. I have finally got all my cartridges for the 7600 onto the 220ml size. It definitely saves money that way. I think I'll try the Atkinson Epson profile on the Arches and see what I get. I use the textured finish because my wife will often paint back into the print and it has a "tooth" for the paint.
