Carbon-6 Epson 7600

2012-09-24 by pdesmidt tds.net

My ink should be arriving soon from MIS.  (Their service has been very
poor.  I paid for 2 day Fedex shipping on the 14th, and they haven't
arrived yet.  Not only that, but unlike my other orders they haven’t
given me a tracking number.  So far I’ve gotten much better service
buying items direct from Hong Kong.)

I’ll be setting up Carbon-6 in my 7600, using MIS C6C base.  Mixing
up the whole inkset instead of just trying Eboni seems like a good
idea, as I’ll have to run an initial fill or similar when installing,
and I’d rather do that as few times as I can.

The 7600 has 7 inks slots.  Starting from left to right:

#1     (Black)     Eboni MK,
#2     (LK)	30% Eboni,
#3     (Cyan)    30% Eboni,
#4     (Magenta) 13.5 % Eboni,
#5     (LC)        6%  Eboni,
#6     (LM)       6% Eboni,
#7     (Yellow)  2% Eboni

Is this still the recommended setup?  I’ll only be using QTR.
Hopefully, the results will be good enough with Arches HP.  If not,
I’ll use Epson HPN.
