I have, however, have them say "Come on!," when I tell them that they are looking at "inkjet" prints. ;-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Simon Greenwood Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 2:59 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] OT: Inkjet printing The top of the range Epson printers are not necessarily better than some of the cheaper ones. I use an Epson Stylus 1160 with Lyson small gamut ink sets, (Quad blacks are good too). I know several professionals that use the same combination, and the printer was not at all expensive. For the price of a top of the range Epson you can buy two 1160's and many do. One for Colour and one for Small Gamut or Quad Black inks.
