Digital BW, The Print

Hallo Joost,

can I aske you for some more information on the subject? such as:

the Gemini Ink:

where to find info and where to buy?
comparison with the K3 Inks for color.
did you find generic profiles? for what paper?
would you be willing to share your profiles?

The IR cardridges:

It seems they come filled with IR Ink.
You mention the empty cardridges as a part of a replacement. Was this because of a problem with with the IR inks?

QTR

did you make special profiles here too or do you use the generic profiles for the 3800 comming with the RIP?


regards

remko
