Digital BW, The Print

Hello Bcadigan

I've used the Cone NK7 inks in an Epson R800 (the smaller version of the
R1800 but with the same print heads).  I've been very happy with its output
which is in a completely different league to the 2100 with Bowhaus RIP and
Ultrachrome inks that I used previously.  I would expect your improvement to
be on a similar scale, perhaps more so due to the single black/grey in the
R800/R1800.  The only drawbacks to the system are that it won't print on
glossy and the tone is fixed (albeit variable with paper choice), however
neither have proved to be a particular handicap to me so that I am now
looking for a reasonably priced R1800 so that I can move up a size.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Piezography Inks with R1800 & Quadtone RIP


  I am thinking of getting a set of Piezography inks for B&W printing on
  my Epson 1800. Has anyone had any experience with these inks on that
  printer? Specifically, did they improve your prints noticeably? Is it
  as easy as they claim to move back and forth between the Piezography
  cartridges for B&W and the Epson cartridges for clor printing? So far
  Quadtone RIP is giving me pretty good results in B&W with the regular
  set of Epson inks.
