Re: [Digital BW] Dead R1800 for 3MK-what next ? 1900 ?

2013-02-25 by Paul Roark

If you have the bulk Eboni MK inks and can get carts for a 1500W, you can
set that printer up as a 3-MK printer just like the 1800.  I prefer the
smoother Eboni-6 look, but the 1400/1500W (assuming they are the same) uses
the same 1.5 picoliter drop size that the 1800 used.  I made some basic
1400 3-MK QTR profiles for this purpose.  You may need to linearize these
for different papers.
