Digital BW, The Print

Florian,

Since you already have a very good b/w system in your 4800, I would 
explore the option of both matte and glossy (RC) printing on the same 
printer.

To do that, you can put the 4800 PK, LK, LLK, LC, LM, and use the 
standard 7600 MK (same as 4800 anyway). That leaves one slot open in 
your 7 slot 7600 printer. If you want the option of sepia prints then 
give the last slot to 4800 Y ink.

This is the most hassle-free way to go. All you have to do is swap the 
inner bladders from the respective carts of the 4800 into the 7600 
carts, and reset the chips.

This system will give you the option of warm to cold prints and many 
interations in between, including "selenium" type toning.

The RIP that would drive the system would be QTR, a $50 program. You 
will need some way of reading density measurements to linearize the 
system.

If you don't care for glossy printing, then by all means explore the 
other options of 3rd party inksets, particularly the MIS FS (quad), or 
even the InkjetMall's various inksets.

Hope this helps.
