Hi all, I have an Epson 1160 printer that I bought new about five years ago to do quadtone B&W with.I bought the MIS original Quadtone inkset at the same time along with some Somerset Velvet and Epson Enhanced Matt papers.I only scanned a few of my 35mm negs and did only several prints with this setup using the Roarke workflow, and the prints were ok.Life situations got in the way and I never touched the printer again, so it is pretty much still new.Now I have just taken up 4x5 and also bought an Epson 4990 scanner.My question is do I buy a new set of MIS Ultra Tone carts and paper and start trying a new workflow with something like Quadtone RIP on my 1160, or do I toss this printer and spend the money on something newer like an Epson 2400.Another words is the newer printer technology and K3 inks going to be worth spending the money over what I already have?
Thanks............................Chris
