Re: [Digital BW] R800 and QTR

2005-06-20 by Scott McLoughlin

Ok. So to cut the ink back to -46, does that mean the "Ink Limit Adjustment"
slider? -46 would put it near the "Lightest" side of the guage, right?

BTW, I'm interested in the 2880 DPI capabilities on my 2200. I'm not
actually using an R800.

Thanks!

Scott
