--- Quote from: squeezee on July 08, 2011, 08:24:53 AM ---The 4800/4880 printers use K3 inks, you need a clever ink reduction strategy (such as the one in the Wasatch SP module) that allows high resolution and accurate ink deposit.
If you do not use a RIP with a monochrome setting, your 'black' will be made up of CMY plus a little black, it won't be as accurate as using a single head, the dots won't be as nice.

Mine's running dye based and accurip allows for control of which heads print.  By "ink reduction" do you mean gain control?

squeezee:
The K3 inks work but are weaker than the Ultrachrome of the previous generation.  You need a higher resolution (which would ordinarily put too much ink down) and to remove some of the dots to get the correct amount of ink.
