Title: Epson 4900 w/ Accurip
Post by: head north on October 10, 2013, 11:50:42 AM

We're picking up an Epson 4900 this weekend and will be running Accurip with it (our 3800 is on its last legs), just wanted to see if anyone else running the same combo has any suggestions as far as settings, etc.  I know we'll have to tweak AR but just as a starting point what are your settings?
Anyone using the matte black from Epson for films?  We currently use the hybrid ink from inkjetcarts.us.  Wondering if the Epson OEM ink will work or if we should replace all the carts (or even just one) for all black?  Any info, suggestions, tips greatly appreciated!

I have nothing to back this up with other than a conversation with a knowledgeable printer, but my understanding is the 4900 series heads are not as durable as the 4800 heads.

look into AccuInk from Chromaline.

We have the 4900 with AR, just waiting on Pierre to tell me how well it prints! ;)

inkjetcarts RUINED my 4900!  Stick with the matte black its more expensive, but worth it in the long run.  I bought 2 more 4900s and will ONLY use Epson Matte Black for my films, it works great.
