Digital BW, The Print

Clayton, You're entirely welcome. I regret I resorted
to a bit of "mud-slinging" in defense of my position -
I suppose I just let the frustration of the
condescension get to me.  I'm sorry.

I too appreciated Walt's clarification and read your
response with interest and anticipation of your
testing results.

I have used DG-20 with BO printing on a 2200 and found
like you that I had good control and WYSIWYG using
such.

With EZ on the C86 I used Paul Roark's recommendation
of Gg2.2 and have been able to manage using such with
that system.

I don't as yet have a 2400, so can't add much to that
discussion, although I await your testing to give me a
starting point and save me a bit(of time,ink, and
paper) before I begin my own testing. Ultimately we
must all find what works best for ourselves - thank
God we don't all make the same pictures or exhibit
step-wedges!

My next venture will be using the Piezo K7's in the
2200 with QTR - I'm anxious to begin as  I have the
inks - but my monitor has become erratic (a simple
electrical connection problem I'm hoping) and must be
repaired first - so I hope soon...
