Re: EZ B&W mixing warm & neutral carts

2005-01-09 by Randy Rancier

The various shades refered to are shades of color between the
neutral and warm ink sets and not shades of gray as referenced below
by HP's photo B&W ink set. The various shades of color is due to
varying the amounts between the warm and neutral inks by varying the
combinations of the warm to neutral carts. See original post!
