Hi guys!!!
the new year starts with new printers, according to MacNN: the Epson
790,890,1290.. and 5500.
a quick visit to uk's site yielded info on the 5500:
http://www.epson.co.uk/graphicart/printers/inkjet/pro5500/
So it's a dream come true, in terms of speed (from 2min/A3 at 720dpi) and
potential quality (drop size: variable from 3pl)... but these pigment
inks, are probably the same as the 2000P and 7500 and such?? so highly
metameric, a nightmare come true for colormanagement? not to mention that
the prints I saw seemed to have a smaller gamut than dye...
anyone knows of alternative inks for the 7500/9500? (guessing that the
manufacturer will go after the 5500 too)
or anyone knows if using the dye inks in the non-dye printers is a
definitive no?
best regards,
