Digital BW, The Print

Clayton,
Thanks for the review.
I just finished my first curve for MuseoMax.  I had an extremely 
hard time with it.  It has a distinct and abrupt change in the slope 
of density vs. ink load for all inks, not something I'm used to 
dealing with.  I can see why it blocks up with the epson driver 
settings.

After a ridiculous number of step wedges, I now have what I think is 
a near optimum result for the UT7+FS-Y inkset that I'm currently 
using in the R200.
Dmax is 1.674, and all steps are clean and distinct before 
linearization.  The black has a great fill, no paper showing at all, 
very rich, yet still quite sharp and detailed for a matte paper.  
I'm looking forward to printing a real image tomorrow to see how it 
looks. 

It is as sensitive to contamination as they say, I am using anti-
static gloves to handle it while cutting to fit the desktop 
printer.  One light touch, and it leaves a distinct fingerprint in 
the image.

Best regards,
John Moody
