[Digital BW] Re: MIS VM Initial Impressions and Questions

2001-08-29 by Tom Keesling

That's interesting...and good to hear! If you have that much 
latitude, I wonder why, given your experience with the 1280, I and so 
many others have had such problems with the Piezo Color inks in the 
1280? I could never get a clear indication of which color patches to 
select when I ran the printhead alignment as long as the Piezo Color 
inks were being used.

I wonder if our two printers happen to be from opposite ends of the 
quality control spectrum, or if something else in its design explains 
this seeming paradox. Or is it possibly just a difference in the 
characteristics of the two inksets?

Not a technician by any means...
