The second print I made was a perfect screen match (to a profiled monitor). It works perfectly with Epson Luster and Tetenal 264 Glossy papers. The colour accuracy and overall print quality exceed the Epson by a noticeable margin. And boy is it fast! I was going to wait for the new Epson pigment printer (2100P or 2200P), but I'm very happy I went the route I did. Archival stability isn't nearly as important to me as the gamut of dye inks and print speed. I've even been able to get good neutral b&w from it using the colour inks, by converting the image to RGB and adding a colour balance layer in PS. The prints exhibit none of the metamerism I saw even with my 870 when using this technique. This is one seriously hot desktop printer.
