Re: Unsatisfactory EZColor results

>From my own attempts at tweaking the printed color patches prior to
profiing, my guess is that EZ's priority is to create accurate colors at the

good enough to be able to print black and white photos with color inks on my
900. But I have not managed to achieve an evenly spaced gray wedge at both
ends either.
