It has been discussed earlier but Holiday OP prints are more limited + better colors.

Ok, but I doubt the inks they used on the original print this past summer are any different than the inks they are using right now.

No, there wouldn't be any difference in the ink from 6 months ago. Its the prints that were made 2-3+ years ago where you can really start to see a noticeable difference.

In order to get any sort of significant improvement at this point, Aspen would have to start using Epson's top tiered printers, which would give them access to Ultrachrome GS2 & Ultrachrome GSX inks. Short of them doing that, it will probably be another 2-3 years before we see new inks that raise the image quality bar again. There are higher quality papers that Aspen could start using that would boost the image quality up a bit but those papers can get pricey and we would surely see a rise in price if Aspen started using them.

I just received my Soulfire Diamond RRP OP print. It's pretty cool, I've always liked this image of Grace (and the other version in the green laced up dress).

Wow, it does looks amazing! I cant wait to get my copies! I just love that sheen coming off of her gold dress. The colors just really pop!

Just noticed on Aspen's Facebook page that they still have 10 copies of the Kiani - Dawn of War OP prints still in stock? I could swear these sold out awhile ago on the Aspen Store. Going to have to pick a few copies up.

Thank you very much OrangeCrush for sharing this info. Got my Dawn of War OP

And yes, I confirm these were out of stock for a long time.
