Update on custom inkset testing (was guinea pigs needed

2003-01-12 by Steven Karafyllakis <stevek@evcom.net>

Hello all,

I have the five beta-testers I wanted (there, doesn't that sound 
more dignified?) and UPS willing, I should get the test cartridges 
out to them by end of next week.

The setups the inks are being tested under, other than my own 780 
and 1280, are: 
                 Mac G4 & 2000P
                 Win 98SE and a 1200
                 Mac OS 9 and Win XP  with a 1280
                 Win 2000 and an 870
                 Mac and a second 1280
                 Mac and a 1270
Having worked out the inkset on a 2.2 calibrated system, I'm 
particularly anxious to see how well it transfers to the Mac 
environment. 

Once the testers have tried this, thye're free to post their 
impressions on the viabilty of this particular attempt at a non-
partitioned WYSIWYG greyscale inkset.

P.S. It seems I committed (or probably should be) to buy that 7500. 
Anybody have any advice? Any opinions on using the MIS Ultrachrome-
clone inks in it? And again, does anyone know anything usefull about 
that Fiery RIP that came with it? Keep it for color? Sell it & buy 
paper? Use it for a door-stop?
