Digital BW, The Print

Tom,

 

I'm getting L 14.8 - 14.95 on Premier Art's Matte BW, using Eboni in a 2200,
QTR at 2880, ink load 65, no under-printing (i.e., no overlap or the llike)
It'll be interesting to see if these dmax figures increase over night - they
usually do.

Which paper?

Forget the dmax limitations I mentioned in the last post. The way one gets
a super dmax with QTR appears to be to print with 2880, at least on the
2200. I'm now at less that L 15. Under printing is a cure to a problem
that should not exist in the first place. (If you want speed, use the Epson
driver.)

.
Of interest, the standard dark cyan in the black was as effective as the PK
for under printing in terms of dmax, and actually resulted in a smoother
100% black. (Note that I'm not particularly proficient with QTR. I'm using
the under printing of the black ink primarily to get rid of the small white
lines in the deep blacks that reduce the dmax and smoothness in those areas.
The dmax I'm getting is still not impressive.)

. Lab for 100% is 16.8, .
