Title: Epson P900 - New Print Quality Settings
Post by: steverap on November 05, 2020, 03:34:42 pm

I just setup an Epson P900 and Print Quality Settings are new. Instead of SuperFine and SuperPhoto there are now five settings: Standard, Quality, High Quality, Max Quality, and Max Quality (Carbon Black). Does anyone have any experiences with these settings that they could share?

Hello Steve,  I cannot answer your question but I know a man who might.   Take a look at epson-sc-p700-printer-review (http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/epson-sc-p700-printer-review/)

It might have your answer

cheers

No problem Steve.  A full review of the P900 (in the same vein as the P700) is imminent I believe on the Northlight-images.co.uk and I also am watching and waiting as I have a two year old failed Canon Imageprograf pro 1000 sat next to me awaiting a trip to the garbage heap.  Canons support means I will NEVER buy a Canon again so probably will get a P900 in 2021 subject to the review.

cheers
Ian

Max Quality (Carbon Black) is Max Quality with LG(LLK) overprint. The same with "Black Enhanced Overcoat" on P75XX/P95XX.

Epson said this feature can add some density and eliminate gloss differential on dark area.

Quote

Carbon black
Our Black Enhance Overcoat flattens the printed surface using Light Grey inks in dark areas. With glossy media this increases the density of black and offers extra contrast and tonality, while simultaneously reducing bronzing. In addition, the new Carbon Black Mode uses only 1.5pl ink droplets which allows you to produce even deeper blacks.
