Digital BW, The Print

Carl

Thanks.  That makes sense.  I am hoping that I can also use this for colour
on semi-gloss as well (profiling a sprayed test chart etc).  I had asked MIS
whether it was possible to change out the Ebony slot for Epson UC Photo
Black in order to print to RC when needed.  They said yes that that would be
practicable.  Now that I see this thing installed I realise that swapping
anything is completely impractical.  Even taking whole CFS out could end up
being a very messy affair because of the lack of valves on the MIS carts.

Cheers

Steve
