Digital BW, The Print

I tried loading R2400 inks into refillable cartridges for one of my 
2200's - selecting MK, PK, LK, LLK, LC, LM and blue or gloss 
optimizer from the R800.

The LK and LLK look closer to neutral than the LK from the 2200 set.

The DMax for the MK on Innova Smooth Cotton is slightly (<0.1) lower 
than the DMax I measured on the K7 sample I received, but please 
remember that the K7 sample was not intended for the measurement of 
DMax.

Here are the densities I measured with a Macbeth TR924, all from the 
visual channel except the RGB readings for IPSC which are Status A. 
Please remember that these are just one set of readings from one set 
of tests and that a different 2200 was used for the R2400 ink test 
than the 2200 ink tests.

Innova Photo Smooth Cotton
MK 1.59 (R 1.56; G 1.60; B 1.64)
LK 1.15 (R 1.14; G 1.16; B 1.21)
LLK 0.64 (R 0.62; G 0.65; B 0.72)

Innova Photo Fibaprint Ultra Smooth
MK 1.63
LK 1.17
LLK 0.66

Epson Ultrasmooth Fine Art
MK 1.69
LK 1.15
LLK 0.63

Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308
MK 1.62
LK 1.18
LLK 0.66

For comparison, here are the measurements I made with the standard 
Ultrachrome inks for the 2200:

Innova Photo Smooth Cotton
MK 1.60 (R 1.56; G 1.61; B 1.63)
LK 1.14 (R 1.11; G 1.17; B 1.20)

Innova Photo Fibaprint Ultra Smooth
MK 1.61
LK 1.16

Epson Ultrasmooth Fine Art
MK 1.68
LK 1.13 

Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308
MK 1.64
LK 1.22

The LC and LM RGB readings were within 0.07 of each other, with most 
differences being about 0.02.

I also printed tests on Epson Premium Glossy Photo with and without 
R800 gloss optimizer, but haven't measured them yet.

Best,
Helen
