Digital BW, The Print

I have recent #s from the UTFS setup with Premier Premium matt and
Epson DS matt.

               For PPDSM they are: K=1.71 d'log, 
                                   C=1.43
                                   M=0.70
                                   Y=0.56

               For EPDSM they are: K=1.66
                                   C=1.39
                                   M=0.71
                                   Y=0.56

These are for the same QTR conditions but using a 3000. I would think
that aside from slight differences due to larger dot size on the 3000
the densities should be similar across printers. I haven't set up for
the UTFSN as yet.

Hope this is helpful.

Regards
Duane
