< Cris, I assume the "black issue" to which you refer
applies mainly to the 10000 and 10600 which don't have
a light black ink. If so, I would, therefore, assume
that were we to use UC inks on our contract proofing
system you'd suggest the 7600/9600 over the 10600 to
avoid the black issue. (Or is it your experience that
this black issue is also a concern with the
7600/9600?)>
No. The standard black in the 10000CF and the Photo Black in the 10600
UC are only so black. Forget everything else, they just might not have
enough density to use for contract proofing. What is your max black
density needed? If its over 2.0 you are out of luck with the Ultrachrome
or archival inks which both top out around there, it depends on the
paper. The 7600/9600 UC can achieve a smoother gray balance and better
photographic quality, but the black is the same.
The only reason I'm saying this is because if you need a denser black
than the UC or archival inks can give, do you really have a choice as to
which inkset your run? Nope..
Again, the 10600UC is much slower than the 10000 dye or 10000CF, please
remember this in the back of your mind.
I would also find a local Epson PG dealer and see if the 7600/9600 are
going to be fast enough for your needs before making any further
decisions. Full coverage 1440 dpi 8x10's on a 7600 can take up to 7
minutes depending on the options checked in the driver. Forget 2880dpi,
you'll get nothing done.
