Digital BW, The Print

Howdy

If you go to MIS web site there is a link to all the
instructions to print with VM. There is a pretty
specific workflow developed by Paul Roark that's real
easy as long as you follow step by step. It will
explain paper settings, color control settings and all
that. I would try a set of prefilled cartridges before
comitting to a CIS system. That way you can waste a
bunch of ink messing around and getting the hang if
things. Get some Epson Enhanced Matte to start with
and then experiment with some other papers. I have
found with most papers use the same paper settings for
EEM. Some tweeks here and there perhaps, but the basic
Raork flow works pretty well across a range of paper.
Experiment and have fun, I know I am with my 1200.

Right On
