Hi,
This may seem like a strange question but hopefully someone can help me out. If of course you can figure out what I'm talking about. In a new Canon printer they are using a gray ink. I guess previously they used moire pattern with black to create a gray effect. With the new gray ink though they don't need to use this system, they can just print gray directly which will result in using more ink but provides a truer less grainy gray.
What I want to know is how to say this statement better.
Compared to printers that use only black ink, with printers that have black and gray ink you can increase the amount of ink used (because you can use both black and gray ink) and thus reduce the moire pattern.
I have highlighted the part I want to improve. I know it seems like a bad thing to increase the amount of ink used but the result is a good thing. I was wondering if there is some technical jargon to describe the amount of ink used in this situation.
Thanks in advance.
