Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,

No, the swabs are not all that good, but I did measure from the most dense sections of the swabs.

Its difficult for my unpractised eye to tell, but C & M look the same as each other, LC & LM are the same as each other, but slightly more blue than C & M. 

You can see the RGB scan here

I will have to load some carts and print a calibration scan.

Do you have to flush the Claria inks from a 1400 before fitting the UTFS carts? Will an initial fill sequence be enough to flush out the Claria inks?

Cheers
Greg
