MIS Vari-Tones - Epson 7000 UPDATE

2001-08-22 by Michael J. Kravit

A glitch hit us earlier this week. The 7000 with it's DX3 variable 
drop heads and stubborn personality decided to add large dots of the 
cyan position ink to the 30% patch of the step ramp. It looked like a 
fried egg after a pepper mill had done its job.

Well, with Paul Roarks ingenuity we licked the problem. The latest 
curve is so smooth that with a 4x loupe I can not find anything that 
resembles a dx3 drop, dot, or drip!

On another front, the Legion Photo Matte is growing on me more and 
moore. To MY eye, the blacks have more density, and sitting side by 
side with the EAM print the white color of the paper is white. EAM 
next to it has a greenish tint.

I wish I could pass around a print. I can see no difference in 
quality between the MIS-Vari-Tones and the Piezo inkset.
