RE: piezography K7



Hi Bill. I've been using K7 inks on my 2100/2200 for a few weeks now and the 
results are not very good.  If you are used to printing with Piezotones and 
Studioprint RIP with Portfolio Black you will be very very dissapointed. 
Deffinatelly not worth changing from the set up mentioned, to K7. My prints 
actually look worse! (unless I'm doing something wrong???)

There is only a SLIGHT increase in tonal range and a SLIGHT increase in 
smoothness. The dmax is actually worse. You can get the same Dmax with the 
first generation Ultrachrome inks! Just goes to show that 4 blacks was 
plenty to match a silver print (on matte paper). Seems as though K7 is a bit 
of a gimick. Just my experiance anyway, again I could be doing something 
wrong? How is everyone else finding it out there?


Thanks, Benny.
