Digital BW, The Print

That sounds good.
Eliminating PKN should give you slightly better Dmax, and control over tone;
well worth the effort.

I imagine there is variation among units.  My R200, while quite good, has
micro-banding that my 2200 does not.  I have done a half dozen head
alignments, and even tried the un-align trick.  It’s just not as good as
_my_ 2200, but the price/performance is outstanding.  I’m obsessing a
little; the prints look great.  I’m guessing that I’ll eventually end up
with K7 in my 2200 or a used 4000, but I’m enjoying playing with the R200
and QTR.  I have a lot to learn yet.

Best regards,
John Moody

Subject: Re: [Digital BW] UT7 on R200: which 6 of seven inks to use?

Thanks, John!

I spent some time last night and created the first profile. I used
PKN, UT7-C, UT7-LC, UT7-M, UT7-LM and FSN-Y. Yes, I copied curves
for M and LM from C and LC. Next step will be eliminating PKN, I see
it makes the profile worse. In general prints already looks OK and
very smooth indeed. I am surprised that this little printer that I
got just for $50 is able to produce same or better quality prints as
my 2200.
