Digital BW, The Print

John--

I wasn't intending to actually use the CSR with MK, but just to have a 
look at how the other colors (including the two grays) looked on the 
paper.  Perhaps the nozzle check is somehow different from regular 
printing (more ink?) and is giving me a false impression.  But what I 
see is a very large gloss differential between ink and paper, and in 
certain light, a huge amount of bronzing--at certain angles it's 
difficult to tell the color of the patch because they just 
go "bronze."  So, what I'm trying to avoid here is swapping out the MK 
only to find that I have the same problems in regular printing.  I 
should add that I have printed only with matte papers and mk and am 
unfamiliar with glossy inkjet surfaces.  So perhaps I am less tolerant 
of the "look" than others.

If someone who is priting BW with CSR could print out an auto nozzle 
check and tell me if it is representative of the actual printing I'd be 
very appreciative and would be happy to send some money!
