Re: [Digital BW] Advice on mixing BW inks for C88+

2016-10-27 by Paul Roark

Good.

This PDF may be of interest.


I used HP PK in a number of inksets and never had any problems with it.

I moved away from the inksets that had carbon + color, neutralized inks because I wanted as many of the jets as possible working all the time, including on 100% carbon prints.

Additionally, I found that the blended carbon + color inks, aside from the OEM versions, tended to separate in wide format printers where the carts did not move with the heads during printing and agitate the inks continuously. HP simply did the best job of making a neutralized carbon ink of any I ever used or tested. So I used it and do not hesitate to recommend it with the dilution bases I've used it with (generic c6b and MIS amber base).

Paul,

My Bad! I meant HP Photo Black. I do not know where Canon got into my head.

Sorry for the confusion.

Best Regards,

Haris
