[Digital BW] Dedicated 2200 for Septones?

2003-09-10 by Ken Schuster

I've been anxiously awaiting a method of printing monochrome with full
tonalities, smooth transitions, good Dmax and without the dreaded metamerism.
From the samples I've received, it looks like Septones is the closest I've seen
to that goal. However, I've been told I'd have to buy another 2200, if I want to
print color and mono. I queried InkjetGoodies about it...

 I'm getting conflicting information about  Septone printing
needing a dedicated 2200. Can you clear that up for me... and for other
folks reading about it on the Yahoo! discussion group
"DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint."

Ken,

While we recommend dedicating the 2200 for Septone if a CIS is used, it is
VERY reasonable to use the printer for both Septone and Ultrachrome
printing. The only caveat is to use the entire Septone cartridge before
removing or seal them with rivets in between. It wastes a small amount of
ink to switch back and forth but we have been doing it here with very few
hiccups. The Septone carts do not have resealable ports (only the Epson
carts feature those) so if the cart is to be removed, a rivet should be used
and tape should be placed on the vent hole. It's also important to
understand that we cannot support cartridges which have been removed and
reinserted as we have no control over the conditions in which they were
stored, etc.

Thanks.
