MIS UT vs UT FSN inks

2004-07-21 by bwbonkers

Hi all

I've been using MIS UT B&W inks in my 1160 (filling my own carts) and 
very pleased with the results. Its time now to go for a CFS system. 
However before I buy I would like to know what the difference in 
quality is between UT variable tone ink and say UT FSN ink. I do not 
really need variable toning being pleased with the neutral tone of UT 
ink. I print on EAM and photorag and so use Eboni black. Would UT FSN 
ink give me better quality? 

While I'm here just for interest, what would the quality difference 
be between the Epson C84 with EZ inks and my 1160. The C84 for a 
cheap printer seems to get rave reviews on this forum. If the C84 was 
better and I know its certainly quicker then I might go CFS with EZ 
inks on a C84 and keep my 1160 with UT variable tone carts for the 
odd A3 print. The 1160 is very slow !!!!!!!!!

Cheers Peter

PS Got a clog form hell and MIS nozzle cleaning fluid came to the 
rescue.
