Re: MIS Full spectrum. Reports?

2001-10-04 by Dave Tevis

Alex,

I've been using the FS inks for a while now.  I also used the 
original quads and the differences are noticable... for me 
anyway. Though I never could get the Brandon curves to work, I 
had good results with the Nevins transfer curves. Since I 
switched inks I use the John Woolf workflow. My prints look 
great.

The most noticable difference is a cooler tone. They also have 
the tones shifted to the lighter end of the scale, and a deeper 
black. Another item of interest is that they changed the ink tone 
placment. ( which tone feeds which head ) It now matches the 
Piezo system. So if you switch you will need new cartridges, and 
a new workflow. Brandon curves will be way off. Woolf method is 
good.

Good Luck
Dave
