R220 MIS UTR2 Dmax boost

2007-12-09 by Roger

I've been trying more gloss-type papers with my R220 using the UTR2 
inkset and found that it's possible to increase the dmax by using paper 
type UPGPP, Photo RPM AND checking Super Microweave.  Microweave slows 
things down horribly but with Harman FB AL Gloss I measured 2.38 with 
the Epson driver.  This compares to about 2.17 with microweave 
unchecked.

On Epson Premium Semigloss (a paper I use a lot) Dmax goes up from 2 to 
2.18.  I'm going to retest trying paper type Ultra Premium Glossy and 
see what happens.

Using the MISPRO inkset I go from 2.17 to 2.28 with the Harmon by 
checking super microweave (also UPGPP, Photo RPM).

I had attempted to use QTR and while high Dmax is possible on regular 
RC-type papers (up to 2.5) I wasn't able to figure out how to get it to 
work properly and gave up.
