Re: Epson 1280 Cart Question

I work this way - with a 1290 and VM or the MIS archival colour.  I 
find that the biggest problem is that you sometimes get banding on 
the prints after a switch.  I think this is caused by bubbles in the 
carts - it's certainly more frequent after I've just refilled.

So this discourages me from making very frequent changes.

I find that the new ink comes through quickly after.  Usually I don't 
even bother to do a purge as my first print will normally be a proof 
for a new picture I'm starting to work on and the residual ink in the 
lines has an unnoticeable effect (to my eye) on the output.

Cheers

Chris

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
