Digital BW, The Print

John,

I have not had time to get back to the R200.  With the cheaper printers the
last 1" is rougher because the heads tend to be "vertical," such that they
are still printing after the paper is outside the main rollers.

How close to neutral and a good ramp is the UT7 + FSY with the Epson driver
and Color Controls checked?  I have not loaded that combination to see how
it'll look with a "EZ" approach.
