One big change is that the gloss optimiser added to the 800's is replaced by inks being encapsulated in gloss in the later printers? A bigger issue IMHO the number of black cart options (that's why it's called K3) and I guess the algorithms being updated. The 800's are finer dots but empirically to my eye the (BW especially) output is smoother from the later printers. ABW is very neutral too. >From my experience, assuming that you want bigger than letter/A4 size, >R1800 great on colour on glossy on Epson papers. If you have BW/fine art aspirations, get a 2400 or 3800. Believe it or not the bigger printer is cheaper because of the larger carts and hence amount of ink you get with your purchase. Finally, when you see what the later printers can do on Crane Museo Silver Rag you will be converted. Just get that second mortgage and never look back. cheers Hoppy Official Epson evangelist -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug- Subject: Re: [Leica] Printer Purgatory How significant is the difference between the inks used in the R1800 and the K3 inks used in the R2400?
