FSN highlight dots : was:Re: QTR & the R800

How are you printing on your 1160? I print using MIS-FS (old) inks using QTR on my 1160 and see no dots in the highlights under an 8x loupe. Maybe it's not the printer, but your technique? Does your inkset have a light grey ink? -bruce On Monday, Feb 21, 2005, at 04:44 US/Pacific, DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com wrote:
