Re: Which is the best way to print BW with the R800 ?

2004-05-26 by michaellwade

I have both an R800 for color and an 1160 set up for Piezography.  I 
printed a grayscale image on the R800 as a test and found it to be 
pretty good with, to my eyes, little metamerism.  If that quality is 
unacceptable to you, I would think that a quad black system is the 
only thing that will satisfy you.
