Re: [Digital BW] Re: Disappointed with MIS-VM and Epson 1280

Thanks, Keith,

Ah, these were for the sepia inks. I'm sorry, I thought they were for 
the VM Cool-warm inks.  All the prints
look very yellow-brown, and I suppose that's the reason. Also, I'm on a 
Mac, so I suppose there would be a difference.

I'm still getting banding, mild, but noticeable. It is worse on some of 
your curves than others, Just can't seem to
get rid of it. I guess I'll have to send the printer in to Epson .
