Dither is in the eye of the beholder, and dependant on source 
image and resolution.Create an image that you would like to print at 
a resolution of 360 dpi. Crop it to a small image, say ¼ page
size. Then print 4 images per page with different dither and printer 
resolution.  Note that supplied curves were created for 1440 printer 
resolution, when you try 2880 you will have to move the ink limit 
slider down to get the same print density. So, 6 dithers X 2 
resolutions = 12 images = 3 sheets.  From there, be your own judge.  
After that, you may want to explore image dependency, say a portrait 
with smooth skin tones and a busy landscape with fine details.

Subject: [Digital BW] Permajet MonoChrome Pro ink formulation

Hi all,

I'm about to start creating my first QTR files for Permajet
MonoChrome Pro CIS and Permajet papers (just as soon as I've paid 
Roy my $50)and was wondering if anybody is aware of the MonoChrome 
Pro ink formulation. I have a feeling that it's a rebranded ink set,
maybe UT or UT2? if that where the case I suppose I could start by
using the supplied QTR files as a start point. Hope my hunch is
correct.

Also could someone explain the significance of the different Dither
Algorithms that come with QTR (and which I might try first,) you
might have guessed I'm relatively new to all this, and have only
recently come across QTR, and undoubtedly have got a lot to learn,
but fully intend to nail down the output I desire. By the way I'm
using a 1290s,

regards, Jamie
