   I've been following the CVS version of gimp-print for some time now,
   and I'm having a hard time with its ink output on the Photo 700: it's
   putting out way too much ink.  This sort of works out with Epson paper
   (you can see the ink pass through to the back side but that's all).

   However, with the paper I've been using (Olmec Photo paper, 260g/m2)
   the amount of ink is such that it bleeds all over the sheet, not only
   the black but for all the inks.

   This doesn't happen with print 3.0.5.

What setting are you using?  If you're using the pseudo- 1440x1440 or
2880x720, those definitely don't work right.  Otherwise, try setting
the density lower.

I'm looking at some alternative dithering algorithms that should clear
this stuff up, BTW.
