Neil, this is a very welcome effort. I've also appreciated how willing you are to share your knowledge and expertise.
Reading the doc I do have some questions that I'd like you to address. I'll reference the appropriate section of your doc.
InksYou mention quad blacks. In forum exchanges with you and reading the HP Tech Newsletter on custom papers the quad blacks are ONLY available on papers of the "Fine art paper >250 gsm" paper type. In addition to that you recommended to me to not use that paper type and to use "Fine art paper" paper type instead. That means that no one is actually going to use quad blacks. I feel this point should be made. Why promote quad blacks as a printer capability if no one is going to be able to take advantage of it?
Print Heads, All SixYou provide a wonderful tip on the sensor. Once a month clean off the opening of the sensor. Great advice. It would be even better if you could provide a photo of the sensor and any other directions to make sure we do it correctly and to the right device.
Controlling inks via Auto CalibrationIn the last paragraph you advise that calibration should be done more frequently than profiling. If you could give some guidelines on the frequency it would be very helpful. Monthly? Weekly? New ink cartridges? You do say that it is necessary with head changes.
Printer Hardware, and connectivityI think that it might be good to really emphasize that ethernet is the preferred method.
The catch tray. It would be interesting if someone could recommend another material for the catch tray. For example, my wife's handy with a sewing machine, would a fine cotton fabric work?
Loading MediaThanks so much for the great description of loading sheets. I've been toying with the idea of creating my own guide to glue on to improve things. Given the design of this it might be an opportunity for an enterprising person to create an after market guide that would fit into what HP has created. It could be built in a fashion that solves the need for a better guide and support for larger sheets.
Grayscale Printing and Tone B&WAgain the tale of quad blacks that in reality aren't an option.
Q. What about bi-directional printing? Can it be turned off? Recommendations?
Thank you so much, Neil, for taking the time to write such a comprehensive document.
