Digital BW, The Print

Hello Jim,

>I wanted to chime in and give my findings for the best settings 
>I've discovered for BO printing on my newly acquired R200 refurb 
>from Epson. 

Thanks for the report.  I found that a head alignment reduced the tiny
dither banding significantly.  The default numbers were 5 in all
positions, but mine ended up with some 4s, 3s and 7s in various spots.
I suspect there will be a lot of variation in these printers.  If you
haven't done it I think it's worth a try.


>The BO prints I'm producing from my R200 are as good as those I 
>made with my 1280, and, knock on wood, I'm clog free so far. 

I kept examples of all my sample BO prints made with the 2200, and
I've found that the R200 dmax is a bit less than the 2200, same ink
and paper.  I suppose it could be from a different ink or paper batch,
but I suspect it's the printer.  Are you able to compare dmax directly
with your 1280 prints?

Same here on clogs - none.


Regards,
Clayton
