Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

 

Glad to see you finally got on the forum.

 

The R220 R2 ink approach uses all the spots on the hextone printer.
However, the 2 dark grays are the same density, and the light inks,
including yellow, are all the same.  So, there is a full set of inks, but
there are not 6 different densities.

Basic newbie level question here: With a black and 2 midtone
densities, aren't there three empty slots in the printer? How can that
work? ... or do you leave three color carts there and simply not call
them up when you print?

Thanks!

Paul
