Re: UltraTone Mix is wrong!

2003-04-04 by scrber

Hi Jeff, I have unfortunately been unable to correct the clogging 
issues I have had with Eboni black.  I am using the GP colour inks 
and (was) the Ultratone VMs, in seperate 1290s, both CFSs, both 
clogging, pooling and banding despite efforts to the contrary.  I 
gave up and switched to PK for the colour (fine - and the colours 
dont rub off) and GEN4 for the VM.
Maybe when the next bottles are out and the new inks are proven, with 
new curves to support, I will switch back.  In the mean time, I will 
stick with what I know to work....

Kind regards

Steve
