Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

My figures for the R2400 are the proportions of dots of each of the inks in 
the Epson printer file (using print-to-file) and decoding it with Roy 
Harrington's help.

If someone makes a 1" square patch of 240/240/240 on a 4800 using the Epson 
print driver in AdvancedB&W mode, prints it to file, and emails me the file, 
I will have a look at it. A full grayscale is no good, because the 
interweaving makes it very difficult to analyse (part of the head is 
printing one patch while the rest is printing another). Separate patches of 
each value make life easier.

Looking again at the patches you scanned, it seems to me that the llk ink is 
a continous cover of the paper - so no 'dots' visible - while the few color 
dots that are easily visible are simply on top of the continous llk. At the 
edge of the patches, the continous grey of the patches changes to the 
lighter color of the paper.

Bob Frost.

At http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/4800_ABW_5-10_1600scan.jpg I've posted a
scan of a 4800 5% and 10% test strip that was printed with the ABW mode.
The 5%, which I think is 242 on the scale you're using, seems to be mostly
color inks.
