Digital BW, The Print

Jacques:

I am a bit curious. Do you remove your ebony inks when you are 
not printing for an extended period – say three or four weeks?

I have always removed the Cone inks when I am away for a period of time. If not there a tendency for one or more to channels to misfire-using the 2880. course it is a simple matter to clean the lines on the 2880

>>> I should have given some more info. about my reasons.  The main reason for wanting to get away from the 1430 is colored (mainly magenta)hues in shadow areas.  This is much more pronounced in b/w prints but comes through in color on low light shots.  This drives me insane!  I know this is b/c the 1430 prints these areas with light M & C.  So I really want the 3 blacks with r3000.   If there is a way around this w/ the 1430 I'd love to hear about it.   I've moved my color balance back and forth but always wind up magenta or slightly green.

My buddy has even done a printer calibration on a few on my papers which helped match colors better but nothing really with the shadows.

>>> Only one reason I can see to switch is if you might want to expieriment with Paul Roark’s carbon- Hp ink set for more neutral prints and  custom QTR profiles.  I am using a 2880 (8 inks)l)  for that,  The advantage the 2880 has over the  over the 3000/3880 is the carts agitate while printing like the 1400. If you don’t do a lot of printing the carts need to be remove (3000/3880) and agitated regularly.  Otherwise the 1400 is by far the better choice.  I have two on line now. One for C6 and one to expieriment with. I have 4 unopened in reserve. I found 5 of  them at a post exchange clearance store. They had been sitting there for a long time so I got all 5 for $250, I plan to use them for a long time as they are an amazing printer.
