Epson 7600 for B&W   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #96905 of 98141 |
Re: Epson 7600 for B&W

I been posting a similar thread on the QTR forum so I was overjoyed to see an
identical discussion here.

I am spooked by the settling issue that Mr. Roark highlights. I am not a daily
printer, usually do a run twice a month.

I bought a HP9180 to do some testing and other than a bronzing issue, HP has
made some significant progress.

I'm wanting to use either the Harman or Galleria Silk baryta paper. Mr. Roark's
work with the HP Viveras inks, will that solve the infrequent use issue?
