Digital BW, The Print

Hello all,

I had posted good results with the OEM Black/MIS VM combo yesterday. 
Today, I am not so sure. On EAM, at the 90% and 95% grey steps, there 
appears some severe mottling (or ink pooling together into visible 
chuks). At these levels, there is probably significant amounts of 
both types of inks layed down, and they may be interacting with each 
other. this is only a problem if the image has significant areas of 
90-95% grey. I will experiment more later tonight.

Shilesh
