[Digital BW] Re: HP Photosmart Pro B9180 review at LL

2006-09-13 by Nick H. Nugent

To overcome the Epson-R1800/QTR/fineart/black-only mode's graininess I
used the PK as medium gray and it worked out quite well. I wouldn't be
surprised if this is the same method HP is using for the fineart B/W
printing: MK=black, PK=medium gray, LK=light gray.

And of course when printing on glossy you don't want to use MK at all.
