Digital BW, The Print

Daniel,

>any chance we could have a look at the formula for the inkset?

Not yet.  I still want to try a few other variations and don't want too many
different formulas out there.  Also, to be frank, I haven't even discussed
the ink with MIS yet.  My continuously coming up with new formulas drives
them a bit crazy.  It's a lot of work and confusing to them to have too many
variations.

That is clearly the next step.

Figuring out the nature of the built-in cross-overs is part of the job.
I've also been curious to experiment with a slightly cooled light black.
I'm concerned a bit with the very warm nature of the existing light black
inks (both MIS and Epson).

I agree.  It may not have many advantages over the 1280/90 except for speed,
but that, in itself, may persuade some to go with the newer printer.  On the
other hand, with a 7-ink printer the option of both warm and cool toners in
addition to a dual K (matte and photo) would be nice. I'm skeptical that the
Epson driver can manage that, however.
