hakon_soreide Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Ah, finally the A3+ version of the R800, I assume? I reckon they will discontinue the 2100/2200 when the 1800 is well out on the market.<p> <a href="http://www.hakonsoreide.com/Photos">www.hakonsoreide.com</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mag_miksch Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 BTW: any experiences with the A2 sized Epson Stylus Pro 4000 -C8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry thirsty Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I see they still have the 44" limitation on print length. What's up with that? Also, is 5760 dpi just marketing hype? I was always under the impression that you couldn't even tell the difference between 1440 and 2880. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_clark Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 The difference will be invisible to the naked eye, but it will be there. The additional numebr of notches helps smooth out the dithering a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakon_soreide Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 44" maximum printing length can get to be an annoying limitation for those really long panoramics, of course, but why they should put a limit on it at all is a bit unprofessional, I think, or it's so that others can sell you their expensive RIPs to make it print longer... oh well. I think I could live with it.<p> <a href="http://www.hakonsoreide.com/Photos">www.hakonsoreide.com</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakon_soreide Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 The resolution difference does, according to studies, add something to the look of a print apart from taking twice as long to print: not an increase in absolute resolution, or something that is easy to spot even on the detail level, but an added smoothness, they say, that makes the photographic illusion of reality that little bit better for human eyes. Still haven't seen it myself, but this new printer is a good contender for when I soon have to get a new one.<p> <a href="http://www.hakonsoreide.com/Photos">www.hakonsoreide.com</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly both the Epson 2100/2200 and the Epson 1280/1290. At the Epson 1800 price point, there's not need for these two printers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakon_soreide Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Yes, there would be less room for the 1280/1290, and they are about as old as the 2100/2200 now, aren't they? Not that any of them are old printers by any standards except those of the changeover in digital technology which is still as fast as ever...<p> <a href="http://www.hakonsoreide.com/Photos">www.hakonsoreide.com</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beepy Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Has anyone seen a real analysis of improved Blue/Red gamut and overall effect of the use of Blue and Red inks in the R800 (which the 1800 sports also)? Gloss Optimizer, Blue and Red cartridges replace Light Black, Light Cyan and Light Magenta? How is performance on black and white prints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakon_soreide Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 The 2100/2200 would be a better choice for neutral black & white prints since you can choose to use black only and get better nuances without getting prints that eventually will fade to colour casts - albeit after a very long time.<p> <a href="http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/interactive/Epson%20R800/page_1.htm">http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/interactive/Epson%20R800/page_1.htm</A> has a review of the R800, so you can judge for yourself the effect of the red and blue inks based on that.<p> <a href="http://www.hakonsoreide.com/Photos">www.hakonsoreide.com</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des adams Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Will it not be possible to use the 1800 in black only mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
