Re: K3 Gray Densities

2006-05-30 by dlruckus

Sorry. Not enough thought given to the post on my part. I am looking
for maximum output densities on something like EEM or HPR308. Such as
would be given in the initial printout for QTR in curve making before
any parameters are set. What I wish to do is emulate the inkset for
the 24/78/98 ABW on a 6 ink machine to see if it is feasible or
worthwhile. Your data is usefull. Thank you. I would like the grays as
well if anyone has the info.

Regards
Duane
