Digital BW, The Print

True.  The FS "E" series just replaces the PC & PM inks.  The Piezo driver
uses equal density ink in the "light/photo" ink positions, such that C=PC &
M=PM.  In the "E" series FS inks, the "light/photo" ink positions should be
clearly lighter.

I don't know what you mean by a "CMY to BW conversion."

>B = 100
>C , PC = 25 %
>M , PM = 7.3
>Y = 3.4

I think we need to post a standard purge pattern file and scans of purge
patterns for the various inksets (with the settings used to make them).
Unfortunately, I don't have a scan of the FS-"E" inkset that shows what the
inks should look like.
