I've done B&W using Pol4000->Epson 1200 and the results are very good, very
close in sharpness and tonal terms to what I can achieve via enlarger using a
Componon lens. However standard 1200 inks aren't achival, and print colour
varies wildly according to illuminant colour, along with some entertaining
split-tone effects. I'm told the Jone Cone monochrome inksets and profiles from
www.inkjetmall.com address these well on the 4-colour printers, and that 6
colour versions are imminent. However the 1200 is obsolete, and the replacement
1270 has been nobbled by Epson's proprietary chip in the carts.
