Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Although in a large format printer it's a bit of a hassle, you might
consider mixing a custom PK that optimizes the load for the particular
printer.  The MIS 2400 PK is a lower load than the MIS Pro PK.  In fact, the
2400 PK is about the same as 50% MP PK and 50% LK.  With these 2 PKs
(actually just the PK and LK would do) and with the new base, what I did for
the R200 was find the mix that gave a good balance between gloss
differential and density.  With the R200 I was going for good Epson driver
performance.  With that driver, the R200 had a particular problem of a
too-light 95% with glossy paper.  So, it was actually performance at that
point that I was optimizing.
