Looking for a printer recommendation

Rafe, Thanks for your insight. Do you have any recommendations as to which printer would best suite my needs? If you know of one that would do the job better than these two for around the same cost, I would love to hear about it. I've reconsidered my answer. Get the HP. Here's why. 1. Epson 2200 may have issues with metamerism unless you're very careful.. Since you are primarily interested in color accuracy, you don't want that headache. 2. Epson 2200 has pigment inks. This means that it has a narrower color gamut than the HP. That means the HP will be able to hit a higher portion of the full Pantone color range. (But neither printer will be able to cover 100%) 3. The HP has integral color calibation. 4. If you do end up going with color management and printer profiles, you'll find dye inks generally easier to profile than pigments. The ONLY reason you might not want to go with the HP is if you must have longevity for your prints. HP makes no claims whatsoever as to the longevity of prints made with the 10ps. Contrast that to an advertised 80 years for prints on the 2200 -- under ideal conditions and "approved" media. rafe b. http://www.terrapinphoto.com |
