Epson Stylus Photo R2400
[Learning Community Group's Research Network :: Main Page] Nothing revolutionary there, and irritatingly, you still have to physically swap the matte- and photo-black cartridges. But Epson claims to have resolved several notable problems it had with the SP2200's blacks on glossy paper, including a gloss deficit, bronzing, metamerism (colors appearing different under different light sources), and the tendency of all the inks to show scratches.
Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.
[Photographyblog.com] Epson Stylus Photo R2400 Announced - PhotographyBLOG: The Epson UltraChrome K3 ink set is a unique eight-color system designed specifically for professional and fine art photographers and digital artists who seek exhibit-level photo quality. Inspired by Epson’s past generations of pigmented inks, Epson UltraChrome K3 uses higher density pigments to widen the color gamut. In addition to cyan, magenta, yellow, light cyan and light magenta, UltraChrome K3 features a special three-level black ink system that simultaneously uses black, light black and light-light black to create professional neutral and toned black and white prints from a single ink set.
[Photoshopnews.com] PhotoshopNews: Photoshop News and Information » Archive » Epson ...: I have recently been working with HP as a beta tester with one of their Photosmart printers, which also has advanced black and white capability. I’ve been really impressed with what their printers can do, especially on glossy paper - zero metamarism, no gloss differentials, and about the closest match to a darkroom print that I’ve seen (on glossy), and excellent results on third-party stock (even Epson’s papers) - though archival life with this combo is an open question. I’m reminded that Epson claimed greatly improved bw with the 2200, when it was new, but when I received a sample print from Epson there was very clear matamarism, not much improved over my 1270 (though probably over the 2000).
