Hi,
Does anyone know if QTR will recognise Epson 1500W as Artisan 1430? 1500W is UK version of Artisan 1430 in US.
If it works then it may make life easier for using Eboni 6 set. 1500 W is also available as new.

Thank you Paul.
I am convinced it is the printer head so this one will have to go. It is rather difficult to get 1400s in UK in any decent condition. So I may have to opt for other options - 1800/2100/2400 and adapt it for EB6 printing. I guess transferring curves (copy and Paste) to appropriate inks positions on the new printer to start of with will be OK. Then tweak for best grey steps.

I am also trying OCP BPK111 inks but as 3 x full BO printing as I would not know how to dilute them for 6X inks printing. This ink gives more neutral prints (best on Innova FibaPrint White Matt and Harman Matt FB Warmtone gives beautiful creamy whites) but then these inks are a blend of other pigments with carbon as the main pigment. They have just recommended their BPK200/1/2/3 for ABW type printing. Will try that out at some stage.

I am new to this group so hope to share some info.
