What two Durabrite Printers are coming out? A six color one? A larger size one? The R Series printers are all six color dye printers except to the R800 which is an Ultrachrome High Gloss ink (pigment CYMKRB) The new scanner/printer R500 is a six color dye machine. The good news for Epson 2200 (pigment) owners is that there is a new set of icc-profiles available for download. Also the DuraBrite paper while gloss has a slightly textured finish to break up the gloss differentiation of the black pigment ink verses the color pigment inks. If you want glossy finish and pigment inks go with the R800 which has a gloss optimizer that put a fish on the print which over comes this gloss differentiation problem In a message dated 7/8/2004 12:25:35 AM Eastern Standard Time, stopbarking@xxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: Folks who have the four color C series Epsons-try out Epson Durabrite Glossy Paper and ...... Epson Heavyweight Matte for a 'softer' rendition. Do not use any other glossy papers if you want to see the best your C series can put out. These printers are optimized for water resistance printing on plain papers. The Epson Durabrite Glossy is a nice smooth surface that accepts the Durabrite inks very well. Great six color printer (ind. ink carts) is the Epson R series, the R200 is USD 99.00 or less. Prints on printable compact discs too. Of course as the features increase on the R series... so does the price. The R500 is a real nice packaged all-in-one if you need a scanner. Two new Epson Durabrite printers are coming out this week. -Bobbie (currently printing on C-82, 1270, 1280, 925)
