Re: 100% Carbon Variable Tone inkset

2014-11-10 by paulmwhiting@...

I'm very excited to see this update on our b/w printing. I hope to see this thread generate much discussion.

I finally had to bid farewell to my 3MK/R1800 setup, but the constant clogging of that printer got to be too much. Paul said he was much happier with the 1400 - I found a rare refurb on the Epson site and snatched it up right away. I too am happier with it... today, after several idle weeks, I did a nozzle check on the 1400, got a bad check, ran the head clean just once, and all was well. What a difference.

But I found my prints with the 1800 had more "punch" in the blacks and so this new inkset shows much promise. I've printed out and studied the pdf and am eager to see how this develops.

Thanks Paul, for your continued research and contributions to the b/w community on this group.

Paul
