Art, If you read some of the postings on the DigitalBW list, you will find that Epson US was advised by a group of US color experts (Andrew Rodney and others) that the CD and Gray Balancer should not be included with the printer. They apparently didn't like them. Bob Frost. - Original

Hi Tom, Can you explain a bit more on what is being asked for? What do you mean by fiber? What do you mean by digital fiber? Are ink jet prints acceptable if they are done on the right paper? If not, what type of printer is acceptable? Thanks, Stephen - Original Message - From:

I wonder the same thing, having just purchased this wiz-bang Epson 2200 printer, supposedly with reported longevity rivaling Lightjet prints. I have a hard time with the idea that ink-jets are being condemned in general. I suppose they just want us to call them giclee's. Mark

We have several local digital labs here providing everything from color laser prints to digitally produced silver based prints to prints produced with archival inks and papers (giclee). All of these produce fairly permanent results, and in fact some and even better than normal silver photography

In wet darkroom, Fibre or fiber refers to papers which do not use polymers or resin coatings, such as the RC papers. Fiber papers are made of paper/rag pulp and then coated with silver halide laden emulsions, and that's it. Thiosulfates can ruin the permanence of a fibre paper image too, so

It depends where you live. The European version comes with CD printing ability (both via some hardware device and software) and a gray balancer designed for making monochrome prints. For some odd reason Epson has decided that North Americans have no use for these things. Art Paul D. DeRocco
