We have a Sparcprinter and Newsprint2.0 and I still use mf from
NP1.0. Here is my Sparc printer mode:

mode_def Sparcprinter =
 let font_setup=white_setup;         % use the white font_setup
 proofing:=0; 			     % no, we're not making proofs
 fontmaking:=1;			     % yes, ...
 tracingtitles:=0;
 pixels_per_inch:=400;		     % Actually for a Canon engine
 blacker:=0.35;			     % but inside the Sparcprinter
 fillin:=.2;			     % hides a Rank Xerox engine
 o_correction:=.6;
 enddef;

If I remember well I only altered blacker from 0 to 0.35. Compare this
setting with the Canon CX mode. I hope this one works. It works for me.
If people do have better results I would like to hear that.
