Re: [Digital BW] MIS PK ink replacement?

2006-03-16 by sagaface

-With the newer printers, we've found that lighter loads actually produce a better dmax 
with less, if any, gloss differential.-

But that won't be the case with the 2200? will the PK for that be a heavier load ink or will 
the MIS formulas be the same for both?

Thanks, Paul...I'm just a bit confused!
