Digital BW, The Print

If the 1160 can yield acceptable BO for you why not use it for color
prints, too. I find that it makes even superior color prints than my
newer C80 printer using MIS 7600 inkset (not glossy pigments).

To use the 1660 with MIS 7600 inkset you need to create profiles with
a spectro-based profiling tool but the result is simply amazing.
Excellent rendering of shadow tone and details though slightly
grainier under a loupe. To profile the C80 I had to use the less than
ideal color control mode to open up the shadow and still the result in
inferior than the 1160 at NCA mode.
