Roy,
I think then, that I will do the show on 4/1 (I incorrectly wrote 5/1) with the 2200
and my old workflow.
I am however still interested in experimenting with the 7600 at some point.
Please do drop me a line when you make progress. I do have a
densitometer.
On a side note, I am a bit shocked that the 7600 is not smart enoght to realize
to do a cleaning cycle only on the black print heads when changing from
matte to photo black or vice versa -- a tremendous waste of ink!
Thanks and take care.
-John
