My 3880 arrived today and naturally I wanted to fire it up ASAP and see what it could do. I printed an image I have from Mirepoix France which was taken at night, it's just a street sign with a tree next to it. I was surprised how much blacker the 1280 image is and will do a lot more reading to see how one can get a very black black with a 3880. I'm thinking that the pigment inks still can't match the old dye based inks for the blackest blacks, is this true? I have printed a couple different images and have come to this capricious conclusion. The 3880 black is like a very dark gray. Any suggestions? I know, read Eric Chans article
