Like the Canon IP4500 (and the MX850, IP5300) these printers produces 3 different droplet sizes for magenta and cyan, mimicking the lighter shades of photo magenta and photo cyan.
So one can conclude: the variable droplet size technology of Epson makes it possible to omit the light or photo colours, without comprising in printing quality as do the Epson R800, R1800 and the R1900 show.Ĭanon latest MP980 and the MP990 can produce very neutral B/W prints by introducing a grey cartridge. Coincidentally the Epson R2400 also has 8 channels: cyan, magenta, yellow, light cyan, light magenta, light black (grey), light light black (photo grey) and the eight channel being shared between photo black/matte black.

Some technical background about my idea: Epson R800/R1800/R1900 are all 8 channel based printers having the same common fact they do not have Light Magenta nor Light Cyan, but are still capable to print smooth lighter gradients using full strength colours (R800/R1800: cyan, magenta, yellow, photo black, matte black, red, blue, gloss optimizer and for the R1900: cyan, magenta, yellow, photo black, matte black, red, orange, gloss optimizer). This is a call for all technical guys to help me for a serious attempt to get Epson CcMmYK printers (the so-called 6 colour based printers using the latest variable droplet size technology) to be turned into a true dedicated B/W (Advanced B/W) + CMYK colour printer, similar to an Epson R2400/R2880, but without the need to swap out matte/photo black inks.
