Which, at least for > me, provides more food for thought about the printer drivers. But if you > KNOW that is a fact then I will remove that conjecture from my mind. I can't "know" it for sure -> but being the other way would be unlogical since every paper has a specific limit on how much ink it can absorb and the printer absolutely shouldn't exceed that limit otherwise the paper will be flooded and the print is going to be ruined. In fact, that's the first parameter you dictate to the printer - by selecting the paper type, such as transparency / plain paper / matte paper / glossy paper. On the other hand, we can't be sure that the printer doesn't put a cyan dot over a yellow one too. Pretty much gray area... The visible light example you kindly provide us proves that the paper isn't sensitive to red light at all, nothing else. (Which is pretty much the case for a single or multigrade b&w paper. The filter below the enlarger lightsource is red right?) Regards, Loris.
