Re: How to get great prints- was Re: Shiraz rip

I think the perceived differentiation between the Epson Pro printers and the 2200, which is nominally a consumer unit, started when Bill Atkinson innocently asked an Epson source about the inter-unit agreement of the pro printers, and was told that it was "3 delta-e or less," a statement he took at face value.

However, without knowing the samples that were measured to arrive at this figure (which I strongly suspect the Epson source whipped out of his nether regions), it's a meaningless spec.

(If you just ran the same sheet of paper through 100 printers without applying any ink, and measured the paper after each pass, you'd get a very good inter-unit agreement indeed!)

I'm pretty sure Epson has little or no data about long-term stability-they try to sell printers rather than keep them in-house. Three printers is hardly a staistically significant sample, and even if I factor in the other dozen or 2200s belonging to clients I support it's still a small number, but the long-term repeatability of the 2200s seems to be limited largely by the consistency of the media (which mostly means the paper coating).
