My idea is to print chromogenic negatives, limiting or eliminating the use of matte black.<BR>
Because the 7800 uses two more blacks, light and light-light and their drying characteristics similar to the photo black, I believe that by increasing the levels of these two inks, acceptable results may be achieved.<BR>

The Image Print software has an ink limit feature that I am planning to use for this.<BR>

Before I start throwing money out of the window, has anyone already done some research along these lines?<BR>
