ABW - Superfine or Superphoto?

ABW - Superfine or Superphoto?

2009-08-06 by Richard Smallfield

Hello all,
I'm about to print profiling charts for my new 3800 and am not sure whether to opt for Superfine or Superphoto - both colour and for ABW.

Does anyone have an opinion on this? To the naked eye, all I can see is heavier ink laydown with Superphoto. Under the loupe, there is quite a difference - but buyers will never see that with a naked eye.

I can't find a way to switch from 'Speed' to 'Quality' - what have I missed?

thanks,
Richard

Hi,
Sorry to have bothered you all with that - I think that, seeing that there is no difference in smoothness to the naked eye, 1440 / High Speed Off is the best ink use/quality compromise (yes, I found the speed adjustment in the end).

I was under the weather today and lacking in intelligence.
