Roland inks in Epson 3000

["Ralph Roessler" <papertech@worldnet.att.net>]

Howard Ward / CD Tobie.

I don't know if either of you are going to be in San Francisco for Seybold
next week but if you are you may be impressed by stopping by booth #3361
(The Digital Atelier.) Karin Schmicke will be running a Roland with the
Hexachrome pigmented inkset on Somerset Enhanced. The Hexachrome ink set
contains enhanced versions of the subtractive primaries of yellow, magenta,
cyan, and black with the addition of a vibrant orange and green.  The
result is a color space 40% more than CMYK alone.  Since the Roland
pigmented inkset can hit 97% of this increased color space and can handle
100% ink loads on the Somerset Enhanced, the result is a larger color
space, more vivid colors, increased saturation and increased color depth
with pigmented inks.  It will change your mind about pigmented inksets.
