Tyler, which software are you using?

Do you find that there a minimum size where 4 (or 3) inks is sufficient? Put
another way, I notice that larger prints show the benefit of an increased #
of inks more readily than smaller prints do (although the impact can be seen
on both depending on the image). What at I'm not sure is where the threshold
is.

You're using K7 inks, correct? 

Do you print on gloss media? If so, what ink set do you use?

Terry.
