[Digital BW] PK chip on an MK cart

2005-04-04 by Steve Kale

I'm surprised that a "photo" paper would be given more ink than a "matte"
paper.  I would have thought that a matte paper had the capacity to soak up
more ink.  I guess dot gain is an issue.  Presumably you could simply
increase the colour density in the Epson driver to achieve the same thing?
And presumably by swapping the chip you only get access to the photo paper
choices?
