Digital BW, The Print

Hello AnnMarie,

Sorry for my late reply, I've been out of town


> How do you do this? 

On the Main tab page near the bottom there is an "Ink Config" button which opens a small window with two slider controls.  The top one defaults to 0% in the center.  Just slide it down to -5%.  I save it as a "saved setting" for when using this paper.


"> Also be sure to set the ink load to -5% for best dmax." I have >only adjusted the ABW settings and the images seem fine...

It won't affect general image quality, just dmax.  Every paper has a certain amount of ink it can accept before becoming overloaded.  Overloading a paper can cause a lessening of dmax.  It varies among papers, so each one has to be tested to find the optimum ink load for your printer/ink combination.  When I first began using HPN I ran some tests and found the best dmax at -5%.  Innova Soft Textured Art is also -5%.  VFA is 0%.


Regards,
Clayton
