Digital BW, The Print

Tom,

In my 4000, I am using the standard UC inkset.  In my 2200, I am 
using UT7 inks.  Both are being driven by IJC/OPM.

On my 4000, when I did the initial ink limit test (the one that 
prints out 26 steps for each individual ink), I hit a Dmax of 1.74 on 
EEM at about step 14.  This was with UC inks.

getting the same readings on EEM on the 9600 with UC inks.  The dmax 
is probably the same for MIS.  I was just looking for a comparison of 
the 9600 with the 4000.  I believe Paul Roark is getting similar dmax 
on EEM on the 7600 with UC inks.
