Looks a little like a Jackson Pollock piece!

you beat me to it! 

The Carbon Black mode (Black enhance overcoat) I believe is now available on the P700, P900, P5370, P7570 and P9570 and the new (Not yet confirmed P20570)version.  Someone please chime in if you have heard otherwise. Have also heard they are dropping the usage of carbon black mode in the place of black enhance overcoat also not confirmed.   No special ink overcoat means no gloss optimizer but it does have the light light black overcoat. It works ok on my new P5370 but does not come close to my ET-8550 dye on white film prints. For special hi-gloss prints they are the best.

Current P20000 owner from new. Mine's been pretty great, tbh. All heads cleaned up well after long pandemic shut down.
But - interested in this - can someone explain what it means, and why they specify high gloss?

"Higher black density than SureColor P20000
on high gloss papers
Increases contrast with smoother tonal
gradations on glossy papers
Mode built directly into the print driver
No special ink overcoat needed"

(I do smaller ultra-gloss prints on 8550 - wonderful for that. Pigment printers don't do ultra-gloss well imho)

I found this in my Google searching today...

... does anyone know if it has matured beyond just renderings?

The camera is supposed to be on display this weekend in Tokyo. Does anyone from here live in Tokyo?

I would say no. From reading this forum, the main reason people buy Epson's extended warranty is the high price to replace the print head if it clogs or fails. The Canon print head is user replaceable, so no worries there. Plus, I've used my Canon 8300 daily for almost 14 years.

Dan: Were you able to get Piezography up and running? I was thinking about converting one of my printers or shopping out some prints.

I'm going to buy the new Canon 4600 while it's on sale for $4,000 but the 2 year extended warranty is another $1,775. Do you think it's worth it?

Since the new printer is not entirely new but an evolution of the 4000 and 4100 I believe that the extended warranty is not needed.

Beautiful!

Hello!

Alien here.   .   Help is on the way.

 LuLa's officially changed hands in the last week.  Thank you all who helped and supported us in getting it done. 

With that being said - I'm excited about going forward.   Lots has been going on behind the scenes with improvements.  The forum is a tricky beast - we're working through the technical difficulties.  Hopefully the doing away with the ads has helped our experience.

Have the posting been easier in the last week?   

As for alien abductions...There's a longtime LuLa friend lurking here that will be moderating here for us.  It's been a struggle to get the permissions restored.  I'm looking forward to getting us back on track.

Thanks
