Digital BW, The Print

Yes, we now understand why the Ultra Tone inks and vm curves were not
working for some people.  Not all batches were affected, but a number of 4
oz. bottles were shipped that had not only the wrong percentages, but also
the wrong inks (thus the rub-off problem some mentioned).

MIS has now mixed a new batch of inks and measured the density of printed
test strips.  These density measurements coincide with the densities of the
inks I've mixed.

Be sure to contact MIS if you think you have one of the bad batches.
Apparently all the bad batches were 4 oz. bottles, not pints.  Also let MIS
know if a CIS or CFS was polluted by the bad inks.

Subject: [Digital BW] Ultratone Mix is wrong!


Doug pointed this out to me this morning, no-one seems to have posted
so I thought I would put it up for info.
Certainly explains why I have been struggling with the curves, I
spent the whole of last night trying to get a smooth wedge and failed.

Taken from MIS website news :


April 2, 2003 - Error on Ultra-Tone B&W Inks
We have discovered that some of the Ultra-Tone B&W ink that we sent
to beta testers was not made correctly. We apologize for this, it was
not done intentionally, of course. These inks will be to dark.. Quad-
C, Quad-M, Hex-C, Hex-Y and Hex-PC. If you are having problems,
please call (248-391-2163) us and we will replace these inks. Any
Ultra-Tone ordered after today (4-2-03) will be correct


Hope this helps those of you having the same issues as me....

Steve
