Re: Large 100% carbon display prints

2007-08-10 by scott_now_coming

Hi Paul,

Wouldn't this "3" system also work in a 4800, since it already has 
three black ink postions?

Is is possible to use Eboni in the MK position, and diluted Eboni in 
the Lk and LLK position?

If so, what ratio would you dilute the Eboni for Lk and LLK (and what 
do you use to dilute the Eboni?)

Thanks Paul.

Scott
