[alt-photo] Re: Epson 3880 and Snow Leopard

Eric,
the pastel tonal palette is what is printed in gum below it.  It held back NO light.  Usually on the color palette I get strips of white to black varying on each row according to the color.  As you can see, no variation in tonality.  No holding back enough UV light at all. So yes, the "print" aka gumprint is "dark".

I can say that this easter egg phenomenon happened on the 2400 and the 3880 with Snow Leopard and CS4.  

So it goes...
