Digital BW, The Print

I have printed the QTR 21 step linearization grey scale using BO and my PK
cartridge.  I will let it dry overnight and measure it with Eye-One Measure
Tool tomorrow and post the results.

Taking a closer look at the cartridges, I have some which simply have
English text on the cartridge itself and others which have both English and
then French text directly underneath.  I can¹t recall where I bought which.
The one currently in my printer has only English text.  I have no idea if
this is relevant or not.

That you should get purple is very strange. I get definite brown, and I've
heard numerous other people say the same thing. I printed a Photo Black step
wedge on Premium Luster, which I think is the same paper as Premium
Semigloss with a slightly larger texture, and measured it with the Eye-One.
The patch with the largest deviation from neutral was L=32.5, a=2.87,
b=7.22, which is definitely brownish--orange if it were lighter.

I doubt they sell different color inks in different countries, because
they'd need different profiles for them. However, it's possible that you got
a bad batch of ink. I had that happen once, although that was from Canon. If
you have another cart bought at a different time, I'd pop it in and see if
it produces same results. Or maybe PL really isn't as similar to PSG as it
looks to my eye.
