Digital BW, The Print

Daniel,

LK is too weak - look at the comparison here with Cone ink density
http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.362672/sc.15/.f.
I can get Cone Ink 2 to max dmax on Glossy (sprayed). But I am sure I
couldn't get shade 4 to max out.

Your choices;

1) Put up with the 4800 ink swap
2) Get a 3800
3) Get a 4800 put in Matte ink and spray glossy prints.
4) Get a 4800 and use Imageprint Phatte Black.
5) Wait for 4900 to arrive with Matte and Photo blacks.
