Pretty damning actually. The kind of eye opener that needs to be shown
once in a while to keep the manufacturers striving to make things
better. And I've mentioned a few times how I think the K3 or any three
black printer should be set up, so I won't go into that again.
Basically just wanted to say thanks for showing me what you see
between your "old" quads setup, and the K3.

The one thing I will ask is did you use the different linearizations
for the multi dot size with the x600, or just a single dot size for
that print? I'm assuming that you used v12 to print it, or are you
still using the older version of the RIP? (Yes I think I've paid
attention to your hardware/software)
