Re: help with printer selection

2005-06-15 by byushooter

Does anyone have a suggestion?  Would I be able to use 2 different 
quad black inksets (for example, carbon sepia/selenium) on the 4000 
and run it with QTR?  Would I be able to get the same look with the 
new 4800 and QTR using UC inks?

Thanks,
Jenny
