R1900 vs. R1800 It's running costs reviews..
"..Buying the R1900 isn't the no-brainer I assumed it was. I sort of answered my own question. There is a large after-market for Epson's ink. I read somewhere that Epson is going to try to do something about it. For after-market inks, Epson is one of the most widely supported. Maybe changing colors and the algorithms in the 1900 will cut off those markets. It's just a hobby for me and I do have to look at the cost of inks. Maybe I will go with the 1800. Maybe the price will come down with the introduciton of the 1900. Like I said earlier, I can't see 16+million trillion colors.
I just want decent looking, long lasting photos without taking out a secong mortgage.." "..
Most things seem the same except they changed two colors. Is that worth it?
I doubt if the human eye could tell the difference. If it was me, i'd stick with the 1800 unless I could see a difference that would knock your socks off. Of course, with me it's a matter of money; not enough of it."
"With the R1800 we can offer a "CIS" system that's proven and it's the choice of many professionals that do a lot of printing. There is no system for the R1900.
If running cost matters &/or you're a volume user why not keep the option to upgrade to CIS by choosing an R1800 while you can still get them..
The difference in real life is very small indeed, remember all print publications use just 4 colours in their print process CMYK.. "

*Incorporating revolutionary colour processing technology and UltraChrome™ Hi-Gloss2 Ink, the Epson Stylus Photo R1900 offers a new level of quality for photo enthusiasts, who demand the big picture. 03 October 2007 – The Epson Stylus Photo R1900 incorporates the latest developments from Epson to provide durable, superior quality, Hi-Definition photos up to A3+ on a wide range of media. It includes groundbreaking image processing algorithms to manage colour combinations and ensure beautiful prints. It also features a new formulation of Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink technology. UltraChrome Hi-Gloss2 represents the evolution of photographic printing, offering a wider colour gamut, natural skin tones and consistent colour with a smooth gloss finish. In addition to cyan, magenta and yellow inks, UltraChrome Hi-Gloss2 features matte black, photo black, red, orange and gloss optimiser. The new orange ink replaces the blue ink previously used with UltraChrome Hi-Gloss. It allows Epson to offer significant enhancements in colour reproduction for natural skin tones. Output also features more vivid oranges and an expansion in the red colour gamut. The magenta and yellow inks have been reformulated and contribute to accurate blue and green tones. The resin coating of the gloss optimiser and colour inks has been redesigned to create even smoother and glossier prints.
The individual ink cartridges mean only the colour that is used needs to be replaced. The eight-colour inkset featured in the Stylus Photo R1900 creates a staggering 18,446,774 trillion colour combinations. To calculate which combination should be used to deliver the tones and colours required for the images, Epson has developed new Look Up Table (LUT) technology in partnership with one of the world's leading centres of colour science, the Munsell Color Science Laboratory of the Rochester Institute of Technology. In conjunction with the Micro Piezo™ print head the Epson LUT technology decides how much of each colour is used to translate a RGB source file into a print. The mathematical algorithm effectively optimises colour matching to ensure the printed image is consistent with the original photograph. The end result is prints with smooth gradations, reduced graininess, wide colour gamut and low colour inconstancy * ; all of which combine to create clear and beautiful, Hi-Definition photographic images. Other printing technologies in the Stylus Photo R1900 include Epson's Variable-sized Droplet Technology. The smallest droplet of 1.5pl is used for areas where fine detail is required and bigger droplets where larger blocks of colour are needed. The flexibility of the Stylus Photo R1900 is further enhanced with its increased media support. It will print onto glossy, matte and fine art paper in cut-sheet and roll format. It prints directly onto printable CD's and DVD's. For printing photos without a computer photographers can connect their digital camera or picture viewer using Pictbridge. The comprehensive software package includes Epson Print CD and Epson Creativity Suite including Epson Easy Photo Print, FileManager, Web to Page and Camera RAW Plug-in.

The Munsell Color Company was founded by Professor Albert H. Munsell, the originator of the Munsell Color Order System. The directors of the Munsell Color Company eventually sold the company's assets and created the Munsell Color Foundation. The Munsell Color Foundation was charged with furthering the scientific and practical advancement of colour knowledge. In 1983, the Foundation trustees voted to dissolve the foundation, and donate the proceeds to an academic institution for the creation and endowment of the Munsell Color Science Laboratory. RIT was selected as the recipient of this donation, and MCSL was born.
