HP MK PK quad mix, question for Paul

2011-11-21 by Ernst

Paul,

Based on earlier messages I understand that HP PK delivers better Dmax in a 1:1 dilution to glop than pure. With that in mind what would be the further dilutions of a PK, LK, LLK inkset? The fourth place is occupied by HP MK. The 6 picoliter droplet size asks for a set of diluted inks: LK and LLK. So far you advised 33% PK for LK and 33% of that LK for LLK. Is that starting from the HP PK or the 1:1 diluted PK?

The 6 picoliter droplet is not a state of the art solution but I have some reasons to go that route first with thermal heads. For example checking the thermal head clear base in practice.


Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst Dinkla
