[Digital BW] Re: Holy Moly 4800!

2005-06-03 by Djon

Yikes, I'm confused....is this "black change" the change between Matte
and Photo Black? 

I'd thought 4800 had both blacks built in, easy switching....wrong? 

Sounds like a hassle to go from printing color and semi-gloss/gloss
B&W to printing watercolor B&W. 

How much $time$ does change take, in addition to wasting a liter
(really?) of $pigment$ ? 

Does Matte Black from 4800 look a lot better with matte paper, just as
it does from 2200?

Sounds like an argument for dedicated machines.
