1160 -- BW to color

2003-07-25 by Chris Hargens

After failing to overcome my CFS problems with the UT inkset, I 
decided stay with the inkset but go the cart-refill route. I also 
decided to try some color printing with my 1160. Accordingly, I 
bought some 2oz bottles of the MIS Archival pigment ink. I don't plan 
on printing larger than 6"x9" color stuff. Mostly it will be for 
proofing, just getting an idea about what negs might be worth 
printing seriously. Anyway, I'd be interesting in hearing about what 
kind of color output I can expect from the 1160.


(BTW, I'm committed to using the UT inkset, and I don't believe that 
a CFS system is unworkable with the inkset. In my case I probably 
didn't pay enough attention to the height of the ink bottles. Even 
so, after numerous attempts at troubleshooting the problem I was 
having getting good nozzle checks with the yellow position ink, I 
decided that it just wasn't worth the hazzle nor the workout I was 
giving my printer, not to mention the ink I was using up.)
