Title: Re: Pantone ColorVantage inks
These [Epson's own] are UltraChrome inks, which work with a wide range of media; what limitations are you referring to that make you think they are terribly limited?
Hey CD, which wide range? please name one good glossy proofing paper at reasonable price (under $2 per 13"x19" sheet 165g or heavier) that works correctly in the Epson 4000, with quick color stability and deep shadows and good gamut and not too much optical brightener.
For dye inks (like Canon W2200's) there are many that fit this criteria!
All the proofing papers I used to deal with – Perfect Proof, Oris, EFI and Imation – do not work with the Epson 4000 Ultrachromes; well, some of the semimattes do, but none of the Glossy ones. Really, in some of this Glossy papers the prints from the 4000 look like newsprint!!
To my understanding, the inks in the 4000 are not exactly the same generation of Ultrachrome as in the 7600, 9600 and 2200; but I might be mistaken here. However I did make some tests of the 2200 in Perfect Proof semimatte, and they came out perfect, while the same media in the 4000 worked but black point came out too high. Which is also the case of Dupont's XP paper; that is the only non-epson glossy stock I've found to work (well, didn't try Pictorico or Kodak), but the black point comes out so light that it does not qualify for good proofing.
