2200 to 2400 or?

2006-01-13 by Chris Hargens

I'm currently printing BW with my 2200 using QTR with the UC inkset
(matte black). I'm thinking about switching to the 2400 to get better
blacks and (hopefully) dotless highlights, along with the capacity to
print on glossy papers. But before I commit myself I want to
investigate  other options. I've considered the Piezo K7 inkset,
probably the smoothest tonally, but I've heard discouraging remarks
about dmax. MIS UT7 may be the route to go, if clogging is not an
issue, but I prefer to get print tone through paper rather than
inks/curves. Perhaps the ideal inkset would combine the dmax of eboni
with the tonal smoothness of K7. Then, again, those Nanochromes might
offer something, but might require too much tinkering.  I'd be
interested in hearing from others in my situation -- what choices
you've made and what results you've had.
