Re: Canson+K7?

2011-12-17 by tboleyyh

I"ve been printing with PIezotone inks on Rag Photographique for some time now, as well as some custom K7 ink blends on the paper. It's wonderful paper, I no longer use PhotoRag as this has taken it's place when a relatively smooth and white paper is required.
By the way, K7 inks have no reputation for clogging, even the previous product cycle, the Piezotones, don't. I have used Piezotones in a 9600 and now a 9880 for years, and K7s in a little 1900 and a 7800 for a long time, Ink and nozzles performance has been far more reliable than the OEM Epson inks in the 7800, a 9800 I used for color for years, and now a 9900.
