Epson made a claim that light cyan and light magenta were not needed on the 8550, because simulating the light inks is possible with their smaller droplet size
To their credit, the 8550 was reviewed to produce sharper prints than the G600, probably because of droplet size
However, these light inks have re-appeared on the 18100 / 18050 which also has a 1.5pl print head
Doesn’t it make more sense for them to use Red and Blue inks on a 6 ink system to expand the gamut? Or maybe red and grey like the G600? Violet?
Canon seems to be the one who needs the light inks since their droplet size is larger
(Canon uses red and grey and I think the droplet size is 5pl. Epson droplet size is 1.5pl)
