RE: [Digital BW] Re: Two printer workflow: R1800 & R2400

2007-06-11 by David Whistance

I must say that I would do it the other way around, 2400 for colour (and ABW
B&W) and 1800 for dedicated B&W.  In the 1800, with its 8 cartridges, you
could use Paul Roark's latest 3K Eboni workflow as well as a full set of
UT-3D inks giving you a variety of B&W choices for both matt and glossy.
Alternatively you could use one of the Cone K7 inksets in the 1800.  With
this approach you would have lots of B&W options with the only downside
being the loss of gloss optimiser for your glossy colour prints.

  Thank you. Since I would be dedicating the 2400 as a BW machine, it would
  seem somewhat limiting to use it in ABW mode...Should I explore QTR with
  UT-3D inkset or just replace the yellow cart as per Paul¹s
  recommendations...

  Any and all advice is very much appreciated.
