Re: [Digital BW] Re: 2400 very cool machine

2005-07-14 by Douglas meeuwsen

I have some VFA and enhanced matter right here. I found the profiles 
for both. Right now, I have the photo black cart in. From what I have 
heard, the biggest diference between the 2200 and 2400 is in the glossy 
output, where it really puts the 2200 to shame. I think Iwill try a 
matte print with the PK cart just to see what happens. There is a 
profile for that combo...DM
