Re: R800 B&W

BTW while any of the Roark/MIS Carbons methods will give an excellent  
rendering of the "proof of Piezography" test chart on all printers tested, the  
R800, 4000, 7600 and most Epson driver printers that use Ultrachrome inks  do not 
fare well in tonal separation in areas below 90% K. Whereas all the  Carbon 
Quads easily separate 1% incremental values from Dmin to  
Dmax................without mentioning potential metamerism and color shifts  over time. It just 
depends on your market and the convenience factor. For many a  reasonable neutral 
print from vanilla Epson drivers, canned profiles, and UC  inks, is just 
fine, but probably not for this group.
