Having had some fun (not!) totally ruining some sprayed prints on Epson semigloss by rubbing Renaissance Wax on them - I am using a colour MIS CFS (CFS-2200-UC) but with Eboni in the K position and QTR - I took a look through my saved group messages and reread some of those pertaining to blackless printing. As a result I have a couple of questions. Why is it the Eboni ink that is causing all the bronzing issues on RC paper and not the other UT7 inks as well? I thought the various shades in the UT7 inks were in essence diluted K. If the problem is Eboni then why can't the attributes in the other ink slots that prevent bronzing be introduced in an Eboni replacement? I am reluctant to switch to UT7 because I would like to keep using my 2100 for both colour and B&W printing. BTW re the Renaissance Wax (which I was trying because of the bronzing issue), while the post-sprayed pre-waxed prints seemed quite stable to the touch the wax seemed to cause the very dark areas of the print to smudge. Perhaps I was a little over zealous with the wax but I doubt it could be buffed without this occurring. Also I found it difficult to get a nice finish on the wax on the print (even ignoring the smudging). Any tips would be appreciated. Cheers Steve
