Imageprint Phatte Black

Is anyone using the Phatte Black option for Imageprint with their Epson 4800, 7800 or 9800 printer?

I read Michael Reichmann's review from several months ago but haven't seen anything since.

Any personal experience out there?

I really miss the capability I had with my 4000 to easily print matte and glossy paper without switching out ink cartridges.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,

I am using it on a 4800, what would you like to know?

Les,

Did you do any comparisons between the standard and phatte black versions of Imageprint with the K3 inks on glossy paper? I understand there is "some" loss in quality on glossy papers but I don't know what "some" is. :confused: Is it noticeable in a 20 x 30 print for example?

Perhaps this is too subjective of a question. I guess the bottom line is: are you happy with the results?

Thanks,
Mike
