Re: [Digital BW] Greenies with MIS-FS?

2002-05-02 by btmcelhaney

I never used Cone inks, and carefully filled 9000 carts in my 7000. 
Before the MIS-FS inks, I had MIS-VM inks installed. However, I 
experienced a lot of posterizing and roughness with VM inks and Epson 
driver. I don't see that with the ImagePrint software and FS inks. In 
fact the prints look great except for the olive cast. And yes they do 
look more neutral under daylight lighting conditions. The greenies 
are most evident in the mid tones. If they warmed up a bit,that would 
be great. How long does it normally take for them to warm noticeably?
