I think I saw a semigloss print from a 2400 today, at calumet photographic in san diego. They have 4 in boxes, and one set up on a g5 They also have a 4800 in a huge box. And a 4000 in a huge box. There was no sign of prices or anything like that. There were some test prints laying about and one was a B/W on semigloss that looked real good. Not significantly different than my Ut2/glop set-up. About exactly the same. There was the tinyest amount of gloss differential, but the inks had a very nice subtle sheen. Just about like Glop. As I said yesterday the matte prints near the machine looked just like my ut2 on matte. Still there seemed to be no attempt at selling these printers. All around the display every sign was oriented toward selling their new brand of paper, and no mention of these brand new printers that were sitting right there. Almost bizarre. Two day ago, when I asked about them the guy walked away, saying that they might be able to special order a 2400, but I would have to pay upfront. I think he was unaware that they have 4 in boxes sitting right there....weird huh? P.S.....I also asked about hahnemule Photo rag satin and the lady looked it up and said it was not listed in their books. She took my email and said she would check it out. That was a few days ago
