Re: [Digital BW] Trouble with ImageExportBW

I'm also using a 1280 on Win XP. But I did as you suggested and hit 
the feed button after it shot through the first time and IT WORKED! 
Thanks for the hint.

By the way, I'm using the MIS FSN inks with this driver and I must 
say I am not truely satisfied with the quality of the print as 
compared to the MIS-VM inks I used previously. I'm finding less 
tonality (muddy) and less sharpness with prints using the FSN inks as 
compared with the same images I previous outputted with the VM inks. 
I'm printing on Somerset Velvet paper.

I'm considering switching out the FSN's and trying out the Ultratones 
since I'm still in the experimental stage before committing to a CIS 
system. But the FSN's are brand new. I've only made few prints with 
them. What could I do to enhance the quality of the print?
