Digital BW, The Print

Steve

I'm the author of the QTR user Guide. I don't pretend to be an expert. I'm
learning as I go and simply writing down what I've learned so others can get
up to speed more quickly than I.

What I told Jenny what I thought at the time based on my experience to date
and on the comments I had received from Daniel Staver. I would be happy to
hear what benefits you gain by extracting a bit more precision from the ink
characterization step. I'm always interested in refining my approach, and
adding what I've learned to the guide.

Of course, what might provide benefit for a 4000 or 4800 may be moot for a
2200, which is what I'm using.
