Re: [Digital BW] What is a better printer for BO printing

2004-10-21 by Maris V. Lidaka Sr.

Windows or Mac?  What paper are you using and what software?

A starting point would be to select a different ('false') paper setting -
perhaps transparency - so that less ink would be laid down, or try a
different paper.

As to another printer, a good solution would be using Roy Harrington's
QuadToneRIP with one of the printers it supports - see the website at

For Windows you can use QTRgui by Stephen Billard
