Re: MIS GP Inks in a 1280/1270? (OT)

2003-11-16 by Tom Husband

I'm using the MIS GP ink, with Eboni black, in a 1280 and really like 
the print.  I'm printing on EAM but am about to profile Moab Entrada 
Fine Art.  I was using the MIS UltraTone but am thinking of another 
1280 for color so thought I'd refill cartridges for a while to see if 
I like it.  I do except for some clogging and a tendency to print a 
little heavy with the ink on the heavyweight Matte setting.  Maybe 
another paper setting would help.
