Re: [Digital BW] R2400 MIS EZW-4Y ink in Yellow Position

2006-10-09 by Manuel Toledo Quinones

I believe the idea is that, as Paul explains in his message, the
assumption is that you, the user, will modify the ABW parameters when
using the EZW cardridge. Since you are using the EZW-4Y instead of
yellow, your new parameter set will use less Cyan and Magenta because
there is less yellow to correct for.
