tremendous Dmax gain with UT2 CFS

2004-12-22 by Allan Chen

All,
	Something weird just happened to me.  I just upgraded from using UT2 
catridges in my 1280 to the CFS, both with Eboni inks.  Before, with the 
carts, I found that my prints came out a bit lower in contrast than my 
screen.  No big deal - I just went a little farther with the curves than 
I normally would.  However, now the blacks (in particular) are WAAAAY 
darker than they were before.  I've completely lost shadow detail in a 
number of instances.
	The bottle is clearly labeled Eboni, and I've checked that the CFS is 
installed correctly (right tubes to the right carts, etc).  Any idea if 
there is a formulation difference that could account for this?  Could 
the bottle have settled in some way that would cause this.  It's really 
dramatic.

thanks and happy holidays,
allan
