2400 prints at calumet in san diego

2005-07-01 by Douglas meeuwsen

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
