Digital BW, The Print

Hi

I would agree. I have been using K7 for about two
weeks and the most important failing for me is D Max.
The darkest step on the 21 step file measures 1.4 on
Photo Rag 308 which is rather pathetic compared to
every other ink I use. (UC, Eboni etc)

I must admit though that there is very nice
transitions from step to step with the result of a
finely graded tonality which is very pleasant to see.

I am going to keep working on the DMax issue by
playing with the QTR controls but for now K7 is simply
experimental for me.

I also think that 7 grays are probably not necessary
for most  
applications and any smoothness gains would be hard to
detect on fine  
art papers.  I'm using 4 of the neutral k7 grays
(including the  
black) and the carbon sepia inks in a dual quad setup
on my 4000,  
driven by QTR.  I'm very pleased with the prints from
both inksets.
