Chatzebussi to Paul and Mike

Thanks Paul and Mike for all your info.

Yes, there is a greenish cast or at least a certain unevenness along the d-curve reminding me of the EPSON 870 dye printer as I take it from this review:

So I'll have to wait until someone comes up with a "ready made" solution.
