Digital BW, The Print

Hi Richard,
I really only use EAM on the 2000P and have optimized 
the workflow for that, although the RR PremMatte seems
to give identical performance, but a brighter white.

Yes, EAM setting, Photo quality, High Speed. 
Did not find a 'source.space/print.space' option ..

And, actually, I have mixed the K and Color chips together,
reset and installed them without discression: they work
fine.

Print a 100 step curve and see if there are any areas needing
adjustment. I only found that the K saturated a bit early. I
just created a curve I use ( in Picture Windows ) as a final
adjustment before printing. (a shift from 0-100% to 0-98% ).

I was considering selling the 2000P also- just to free up some space 
in the room, but they are selling so cheaply, and the print quality 
is superior to the 3000, so for small prints It it a Keeper.

Please post your results !!

( oh, in my case anyway, the MIS FS inks did not work well
at all in the 3000 .... major fine banding and poor 
nozzle tests )

Best,
Alex
