Yes, that's nice, though there's no reason why the Epsons can't be
extremely consistent if they are recalibrated from time to time.
Sure they can.
Of course that process is easier on the HPs. There is some
resistance here to the HPs for proofing, with many having come to
rely on and trust the Epsons--service has been a factor. We're now
also getting disturbing reports of failure of the onboard spectro
system (one major RIP manufacturer is now steering its customers
away from the Z-series for this reason).
Not my experience so I can't comment on that.
The Epsons also still produce a sharper dot, which helps if the
customer has a dot-proofing RIP like Compose or EFI's1-bit TIFF
option.
Now I have a lot of experience in exactly that and I can assure you
that the resolution on an HP Z2100 is somewhat better than on an
Epson 78/9800 in this particular respect. This is especially
noticeable in the rendering of small fonts (positive an negative
which "grow" on the Epsons but not on the Hp's) and in Dotproof. An
HP z2100 will do around 175lpi at a higher quality than an Epson 7800
wil do 150lpi (as in sharper and more accurate dots).
