[Digital BW] Re: Epson 2000P what's different ?

2002-08-22 by a_pettit_jr

It was quite simplistic as I have no densiometer..
I put a drop of black into a small bottle and diluted with a calibrated 1 ml. syringe type dropper until I obtained a light gray color. As it turns out, that was a dilution of 1750:1. I then just diluted the others to as closely the same color as the grey and calculated the proportionality of the drops. ( Y required only 60 drops of water to equal the black dilution, 60/1750*100 = 3.4% ) aka Kitchen Sink Science <G>

I was just looking at nozzle test from the Epson 2000P color set. I am wondering if the C and M positions could be occupied by the 23% inks ( Cyan and PCyan), the PC and PM by the 7.3 % inks (Magenta and PMag), B=B and Y=Y ?? It looks close..
