Peter,

with the MIS VM inks I´m on PC because on a Mac I couldn´t 
apply Paul´s 1280 curves to my 1290 printer (extrem 
posterization) - and it was impossible for me to run the 1290  
with the 1280 driver on a Mac. 
Under WinME I can run the 1290 with the 1280 driver and #13 
curves without posterisation. 
Under WinXP I can apply the #13 - 1280 curves to the 1290 and 
run it with the original driver. 
That worked fine for me for some days ..... meanwhile I have a 
new problem here: the print stops at 3/4 image since this 
morning, though I have much space and memory. 
As I get no error message I don´t know what to do (reinstalling 
the driver doesn´t fix the problem).


             ........aaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhh............

                                           Bernd
