[Digital BW] Re: How many shades of grey?

2005-06-16 by Johnny Eades

Jon,

I'm not disputing your inks ability to make dotless highlights, but I 
am using MIS UT2 inks on an epson 1280 and I don't see any dots in my 
highlights now. Is your dotless different? I'm not trying to be 
sarcastic, just trying to understand how much the inkset is 
contributing to what QTR produces on its end of the combination.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny
