Re: WF 1100 (was original Claria ...)

At http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Sequential-scan.pdf I show high resolution scans of the light ends of 2 test strips, both printed with the 1100 and UT14-LC inks.  All three midtone inks were the same LK density.  For easier comparison, I've pasted one scan into the center of the other.  

These scans show the advantages that can be gained by using an ICC that contains an image adjustment (*.acv) curve that starts the C, M, and Y inks one at the time, or sequentially.  When just one ink is used as opposed to 3, I usually see smoother results. I think of it as analogous to partitioning for these "EZ" types of setups where all three of the midtone inks are the same. With this type of profile, the 1100 can produce prints with surprisingly smooth highlights.  (The middle values are easy to get smooth with 3 LK inks firing.)
