RE: [Digital BW] Re: Electric scissors or electric guitar? (and a real question)

2006-04-24 by Ken Carney

I think Electric Scissors would be a pretty nifty band name...well, maybe 40
years too late.  But, it could be a retro, real retro, thing - a big screen
in the background flashing inkjet images.  Today only an idea, tomorrow the
Crossroads festival.  Anyone need an acoustic/slide blues player?

The question: I've been thinking about a 4800, but: I don't do production
printing.  2-3 prints a week on the average would be a big run, sometimes
though more.  Right now I use a 2200 with IP6, no clogging problems with UC
inks even when it sits idle for a month as it sometimes does.  Does anyone
have any thoughts as to whether the 4800, with what must be more plumbing,
would lead to clogging problems under those circumstances?  I'm pretty
pumped about the 4800, with the introduction of these "FB" papers, and the
ability to make a larger print. Any info appreciated!

Ken
