R200 EZ B&W inks

2005-10-12 by Paul Roark

I've placed an R200 EZ Readme file at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/R200_EZ_Readme.htm.

 

The ink formulation is done, as are some settings for popular papers.

 

I don't know when MIS will actually have the inks available.

 

As one might expect, the light inks make for extremely smooth prints.  In
that respect the R200 is superior to the C86, but I still think few will
ever see the C86 dots. 

 

The C86 has a better dmax with glossy papers, but the matte dmax is
essentially the same.  The R200 with the PK I've formulated for it hits 2.0
with Kirkland, Ilford Smooth Pearl and Premium Semigloss, which are the
glossy papers I recommend for the printer.

 

The driver controls give quite a good ramp - almost identical to what I'd
target for matte papers with curves, and slightly darker shadow tones for
glossy prints.
