Digital BW, The Print

My 4800 is printing a smoother gradient transition using the "BLACK" 
setting (BO) than my C-86 with MIS EZ w/pk is capable of.

I used the files that Graham Preston recently posted to this 
newsgroup.

The 4800 is using Epson K3 Photo Black ink.

Although I like the results I get with the EZ inks, I've recently 
been experimenting with the "Black" setting on the 4800.

The 4800 is producing excellent results with nice deep blacks. The 
Epson PK is a little on the "cool side". I prefer the warmth of the 
MIS EZ Photo Black.

If I didn't need use my 4800 for color printing, I'd probably using 
MIS EZ PK, with a little bit blue pigment added to bring it more 
towards neutral, and print BO exclusively.

There is some bronzing with the PK ink, but I'm sure a little Print 
Shield would take care of it. Also, bronzing wouldn't be a problem 
with matte media, however, I need to print on gloss and luster media 
for "paying jobs" :>) Otherwise, I'd stick with MK ink.

Anyone else using the  "BLACK" setting on their X800 series printer?
