Re: C886 BO with Epson innk.

Hello Adam,

That's good news.  I'm wondering of some of the other ones might not
benefit from a head alignment.

Yes, it's one of my favorites.  Kayenta renders the pure carbon inks
much cooler than most other papers.  If you want a real thrill, put
some Eboni in it and see what happens.  There is a chart on my web
site that shows the ink color, paper color and dmax for 24 papers,
using Eboni BO.  Kayenta ranks the coldest.  It's article #5, "The
Great Paper Chase".
