I've spent a good chunk of time this morning comparing my 2100 prints with those out of the 4800. I usually print on a variety of matte stock but since the printer doesn't ship with matte black I've dug out the only non matte stock I've got - a roll of Premium Semigloss Photo paper, so keep that in mind.

I gave up printing pretty much anything on semigloss on the 2100 due to the bronzing and excessive metamerism within a short time of having received the printer. I did like the extra punch tho. This was followed by giving up on printing great B&W, even on matte papers. It fell short of what I wanted.

I've walked around this morning with 4800 B&W side by side with 2100 B&W, under a wide range of light sources - daylight, fluro, bulb etc.

Keeping in mind my limited testing - time and papers, metamerism looks to have been resolved. There's _very little_ shift in the 4800 B&W PSPP print, where the 2100 B&W on matte ebbs back and forth, magenta, green, wildly in comparison to the 4800's. I think this is great. B&W inkjet prints are back on the menu.

I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on the matte black ink!

Bronzing, reduced? yes. I need to pull out some 2100 prints on PSPP and compare more thoroughly side by side.
