RE: RE: [Digital BW] R800-1800 pure carbon printing

Hi Jean Claude,
 
>I am following your test & trials... very exiting !!!

Let's hope 1.5 pl dots allows us to finally get rid of the color pigs
totally in relatively neutral, photo quality prints.  I do still see a few
occasional artifacts in my test prints, but I'm hopeful.  Don't bet the farm
on it yet.

>Do you believe You'll succeed by keeping the color printing of 
>the R1800 and giving us the way to print good B&W?

With the 1800 I now have (a defective refurb that I'm going to return) the
issue is microbanding.  Can it do a 3-Eboni B&W without microbanding?  I
can't say for sure. If it can, then matte color and pure carbon would be
possible.

>Are you testing with the PK and BK and with the Gloss head?

I'm installing PK & Glop now.
