We analyse colour and mono print samples from Epson
Below are some magnified close-ups, in colour, from the new 2100 and also the dye-based 950 A4 model also announced by Epson, plus Canon’s S900 dye-based contender. It must be stressed that we aren’t able to compare like for like as we haven’t been able to produce our own test prints on our own 2100, but it’s an interesting enough exercise nonetheless. Has Epson fixed the problems previously endured with pigment ink? Normal viewingBefore we look at the magnified views, it has to be said that viewed in the hand the colour sample print on semigloss paper looked very good. Colours are vibrant, there is little to reveal that it’s a digital print. My only word of caution is that it’s a sample print and no-doubt the image was selected meticulously to show off the best of the printer. All scans were made using a HP 7450 2400x2400ppi flat bed scanner. Directly below is a thumb nail of our test print model’s right eye close up: | ||||||||||
