Re: EZ B&W mixing warm & neutral carts

2005-01-09 by scott_now_coming

O.K, Randy, I mis-spoke.

I meant "density" instead of shades.

How do you get all those densties with only 2 densities of ink.

One bottle to fill the C, Y, And M positions and one bottle of black 
to fill the black position.

2 inks. I just don't get it.
