Digital BW, The Print

Martin,

I think I am still waiting for the BW part of the equation... but soon!
George, I believe, has probably had some decent experience with the setup -
my assumption based on his reviews on the Cone web-site. (By the way
George - love your images on that site / review).

I will let you know how I get on!

I do know what you mean about the system-gap. The 7000 is a BIG printer - I
have a small shelf next to me with two 1160's on different shelves (one with
CIS), a bucket load of spares, hanging files, paper. The 7000 sits behind
this lot (facing the other way) and dwarfs them! Unfortunately, the benefits
of using printers like the 5000 are, I imagine, undone by it's smaller sheet
size and so on than the 3000. The sequence in printer size actually goes
12xx... 5x00... 3000... 7x00... 9x00 etc but in price the 3000 and and 5x00
swap round so it all gets rather confused. Does anyone have any experience
of the 5x00 printers wrt paper feeding? Is it a 'pro workhorse' or an
overpriced desktop unit??? :)

This post is a message to the printer and ink manufacturers to
complain about the current limited availability of printer/ink
combinations for B&W output.

In recent posts Nij and George DeWolfe have both mentioned their
Epson 7000 24" printers setup with Piezo Pro24 software and inks.
