In December I reproduced 13 documents (ranging from notebook paper to Fabriano Ingres Cover)of the favorite museum artist here in town. They are on display as close as it gets in musea. The conservator hadn't noticed the exchange from the originals I was told. Z3100 prints. The bond of the dye inks could be better than the Z3100 pigments bond but the light and ozone fading on such a wide scope of media will be worse. The choices of good neutral B&W printing + the use of the gloss enhancer + more hues + more consistency in color of the Z3100 should make it the better printer for the job. I think the 130 doesn't allow thicker than 0.8 mm media either so both will have that limitation. -- Met vriendelijke groeten,Ernst | Dinkla Grafische Techniek | | www.pigment-print.com | | ( unvollendet ) | Website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPDesignJet_Printers Post message: [email protected] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
