RE: [Digital BW] More on Epson's use of GLOP

2005-03-07 by Seth

Yep, I think Paul told me that.

It's the "glossy coated" pigments that still have me worried.

I'm kind of in a quandry on how to play this.  Go for the proven 2200 or
jump to the 1800 with the much smaller squirter and hope for a good set of
updated inks for CIS or refillables.  Of course, it'll take a rip to make it
work.
