I'm stupid

2003-10-16 by Ed Mathews

Don't mess with a good thing.  Don't fix it if it isn't broken.  I was
getting excellent prints out of my 1280 using MIS VM and matte paper.
And never once a clog.  But stupid me wanted it all, and decided to try
the new UT B&W inks so I could print on glossy paper.  I just installed
the cartridges.  It took 6 cleaning cycles to get a good test (1/8 of
the ink in the cartridges).  And I've printed two test prints thus far
using Ilford Smooth Pearl and Paul's new UT neutral and medium warm
curves.  The results are horrible, with complete solarization.

I'll sit on it tonight and work on it again tomorrow, but needless to
say this is very disappointing.

Thanks,
Ed
