[Digital BW] Re: UT14 vs Eboni6

2009-09-24 by Jacob

Yes I would like to do it if I knew how. We can measure smoothness of the inks but how relate it to image quality? 

There should be some impact of non-smooth inks on image quality, but I've printed on my epson 1400 number of images letter sized - predominantly black images, light images and mid-tone images - and I don't see any difference between BO and EB6 in smoothness just luminosity for BO and warmer tones for EB6.  

I don't know what to think - may be it's just me? Or my printer is too good? Or may be I need to print bigger size prints?  Anyway what I don't see and I can't come up with the way to measure.
