RE: [Digital BW] Epson 4800 AND 2400

2005-07-08 by Paul Roark

Maybe someone ought to show the outback group the Epson MSDS that says
"proprietary dyes and pigments" more than carbon.  They might also like to
see the scan of the 4800 highlights -- lots of color dots.

The K3 fade tests will be better and probably not be affected by the
highlights due to the test protocol.

I will have some information about the highlights from my tests, but they
carry no weight relative to Mr. W's.

"Follow the money."
