Digital BW, The Print

I have uploaded an Excel document comparing the gray values obtained from 
a 7000 driven by PiezoPro software vs the 1160 with the latest plug in. The 
1160 is measured with both old and new inks. All tests are done on Photo Rag 
188.

The dmax obtained with the piezoPro driver is 1.86. This is significantly higher 
than the 1.79 from the 1160 (same from the 1280, which is not shown in this 
document).

As far as I know, the 1.86 is currently the one to beat for any drivers or 
workflows that still allow for good shadow separation.

Antonis,

Well that's good to know.  Good thing nothing spilled on the test prints 
or it could have put the PT's in last place...
