Wonderful vistas and very different feelings due tp the light conditions.
Well done.

Beautiful!

Thank you both!

Mark, Michael

Thanks so much.

Made a 16x20 print using Canson Infinity Baryta paper on my Epson 3880,... and am very pleased to see how it turned out.

Raw Details, previously called Enhance Details, produces crisp detail and more accurate renditions of edges, improves color rendering, and reduces artifacts. The resolution of the enhanced image stays the same as the original image. This feature is handy for large displays and prints, where fine details are visible. The supported file types are raw mosaic files from cameras with Bayer sensors (Canon, Nikon, Sony, and others) and Fujifilm X-Trans sensors.

every search ive don on Lightroom's raw details tells me what its does....with nary a mention of how that a accomplished.

I suspect its local contrast  of some variety but cant find any discussion of its "mechanics" anywhere.

I further suspect that some of my fellow posters here have a good grasp of said mechanics and the necessary gift to describe them in cogent concise terms.

Thanks!

 

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)

In also like it.

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.
