Digital BW, The Print

Hello Walt,

Thanks for the detailed report.  I have some sample K7 prints someone
sent me awhile back, and your observations are right in line with my
own impressions: beautiful smoothness, but slightly less dmax and
slightly duller highlights.  The K3 prints do have a more "alive"
look, and I agree it's because of the bare paper showing between the
dots.  You know how much I love the BO luminance, and I was very
pleasantly surprised with the K3 look - much better than most full ink
systems I've seen.  I have been convinced for a long time that the
full ink "dotless" systems dulled the highlights.

Also same for HPR - very nice, but lacks the nice "edge" that VFA has.
 I haven't tried the Ultrasmooth, but have heard many good reports.

Have you used QTR with K3?  If so, how do you like it compared to ABW?

Regards,
Clayton
