Digital BW, The Print

Hi J Vee,

We had to give up on the Esprit CS 11 colour with B/W and colour for 
different reasons, primarily banding on the BW. Just couldn't get rid 
of it. It seemed that they were going to bring out new inks, as it 
was an acknowledged problem. But they never did. Also it had a few 
problems with gradients to white, where it produced colour fringing, 
also acknowledged problem. We sold it this year and replaced it with 
the 9800. It made gorgeous prints, but those problems killed it for 
us in the end. Very labour intensive too, compared to the Epsons. 
Very solidly built, but looked like a piece of industrial machinery 
in the room, compared with the 'baby grand' look of the 9800. It 
wouldn't have mattered what it looked like if it had done the job, 
but it just didn't, or not all of it.
