But Jerry, that still doesn't answer why this is occuring. Jim said he gets a very black black at 95, but not at 100. I understand that the orginal black is very dark charcoal gray. Therefore, the 100% black not being really black makes sense. But why is a very black black being realized at 95% with the same ink set? Does the mixing of some of the CYM inks at 95% make the result a blacker black than the 100% black? --- Gerald Olson <jerry_olson@und.nodak.edu> wrote: > J.Arthur.
