Re: is BO on R1800 without QTR possible?

2009-01-26 by steve_wadlington

Glad it worked for you. I'm not an expert by any means, I pick stuff 
up from everyone here. This was the first Christmas I printed cards. 
BW on the 2400 with C6B and color on the 1800. I'm very happy with 
the C6B, although the tones are a little too warm for Paul R. I'm 
very happy with them. 

To me, there is a sense of accomplishment in mixing my own inks just 
as in mixing my own film developers, must be the Mad Scientist wanabe 
syndrome.
