Re: [QuadtoneRIP] New R2400 - posterization, no midtones

2006-10-31 by Daniel Ridings

I confirm Roy's suggestion. I tried these inks and Quadtone RIP last 
week with the posterization result. One of the cartridges had a blocked 
vent.

You can push the cartridges apart and peel off the part of plastic still 
covering the vent.

Might help. My cartridges were slightly different than described, but 
easier to take apart rather than more difficult.

I tested on the R800. I'm still undecided as to whether or not this is 
how I will print b/w, but ...
