High light black usage. Is that normal ?

2006-07-09 by René Bakker

Dear group,

I normally print with Ultrachrome/Eboni combination on matte papers.
My default setting is EEM 80% warm, 20% sepia
My observation is that the color cartridges are almost equaly going 
empty, the black usage is somewaht higher, but the light black usage 
is more then twice is much as the use of color ink. 

On itself it is no problem because I always by some more licht black 
cacarts. But the downside of this effect is that I also waste relative 
more color inks because if you change one of the carts, the initial 
flush procedure will have effect on all the cartridges.

So my question is:  is it normal that I use so much light black ?

Kind regards,
Rene Bakker
