Re: Epson 1160 Dilemma

2004-03-28 by smthopr2000

I've been using the MIS FS inks with the QTR RIP to drive the printer. Very smooth 
prints with no visible posterization.

QTR is a shareware printer driver  for b&w that works on mac OSx and almost any 
epson printer.

FS (full spectrum) inks were designed to work with the cone/R9 quadtone print driver 
and provide a single tone, monochrome print.

Good Luck and have fun!
