eboni black (e: [Digital BW] Weird Epson 1160 CIS problem)

2003-08-08 by Mark Hahn

The nice thing about MIS stuff is that it comes with a lifetime 
replacement agreement... I have had the tube problems and they have 
been stellar in their customer service.

The Eboni ink is new to me as I still have a bunch of co-solvent 
black.  Does going to the Eboni ink change your curves?  I am using 
the VM Roark curves with my 1160.

thanks,

mark
