Digital BW, The Print

Hello Ernst,

>Are there 960 users on this list?  How good is the BO quality?

I received a BO print and ramp/step wedge from a 960 user.  The dots
seem to be made of pairs of droplets, giving them an elongated
appearance and a size equal to or slightly larger than the dots my
2200 produces.  The gradient ramp did not look any smoother (in terms
of graininess) than my 2200 ramp, and it did have several faint but
distinct steps which my 2200 doesn't have.

So the bottom line, at least from these examples, is that I see no
advantage of the 960 over the 2200.

As for the 960 ink, the color had a cool blue-green tint.  I am
wondering if the 2pl droplet heads will have any problems
with pigment inks.  Has anyone tried Eboni in a 960?


Regards,
Clayton
