Re: C86 maiden voyage

2004-12-27 by scott_now_coming

Steve,

I didn't install the Epson ink.

I installed the MIS in a "virgin" C86.

If you do this, you may have to run a few cleanings before you get a 
good print.

If you do 3 cleanings in a row, make a print or 2 before running 
another cleaning cycle.

I used quite a bit of the "black" in before I had "trouble free" 
printing, but it was WELL worth it.

Also, I had to turn off "High Speed Printing".

I used Paul Roark's suggested starting point and the made one 
adjustment since.

Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper looks awesome (I'm a portrait 
photographer).

I'm going with the re-fillabe carts next. If you like the results, 
I'm sure you'll go with re-fillabe carts to.

Good luck and tell us what you think.

Scott
