Re: PK or MK on QUAD 2200?

2005-02-17 by john dean

QTR is surely the best thing I've done this year.

Yea, if you think it is a hassle on a 2200 try a 9600! I was wondering the same thing. Is it 
possible to use the matte black ink on Premium Luster media somehow with QTR to limit 
the black density, or is the pigment composition of UC MK just no way compatable with rc 
media? If I could do this it would make my life so much easier. Eventually  I'm going to use 
the 10K printer loaded with Lyson Cave Paint for all glossy and rc media but that is a 
thousand bucks away for the moment.
