Digital BW, The Print

Yay, someone is using it.  Thanks for replying Matt.  That's too bad
to hear there is more bronzing with the K4 inks in color.  Do you
think you just need to fine tune your profile/printing workflow?

I'll be very interested to know what you think after trying out some
B&W with the ABW settings.  I won't be able to afford to make my own
profiles at the moment, so if I start to use the K4 inks I need to
find profiles online.

I'm leaning towards the CFS right now.  I've never owned/used one, but
it seems a little easier now than those I saw in the past.  I wonder
if spongeless carts will be easier though.  Did you consider the CFS?

Why aren't more using this inkset?  The R2400 has been a good seller,
and Eboni is also popular...is this inkset very very new?

Thanks again for the info Matt, as you continue to use the K4 inks I'd
like to hear your ongoing experiences.
