Re: [Digital BW] Ink Information + UT report

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the followup. The article seemed to cover a lot of 
information, perphaps it Was biased....

Maybe I should try the 2200 inks in my E2000P ?

I installed the Eboni/ UT inks for Epson drivers in the 2000P and had 
major posterization. I can't reposition the inks as I have with the 
MIS FSE as the UT inks use blue in the magenta positions. Blue ink, 
but interestingly, a bit more pleasantly brown toned than the FSE. 

FWIW, The normal order for the Epson Color cart is
C CL M ML Y.    With the FSE, I install them C M CL Y ML , use a 
PicWin tint that uses C only from 95% to 80& w/ no color adj and can 
get a well resolved, properly progressing, 100 step chart. In fact, 
the no color adj alone will work with that positioning, but the Epson 
driver turns on the K ink beginning at 80% and these dark dots can be 
seen. ( EAM paper used and selected ) Disadvantage: the C ink is 
consumed in significant quantity requiring frequent cart replacement.

At any rate, this set of 4 oz bottles is of no use to me. At least 3.6 
oz in each bottle, cost $100, sell $55 shipped if anyone wishes to 
experiment.

Best,
Alex
