B&W with C86 and MIS inks - unattractive sheen - advice?

2005-01-11 by yanceyiv

Hi all,

I just got the UT inks for the C86 today and printed my first few 
test prints. The output was very nice and I am impressed. When 
looking at them under a light, from most angles they look great. 
However, there seems to be one spot when tilting where there is an 
unsightly sheen. I am not sure exactly what to call it, but it looks 
like there may be too much ink laid down or that it looks flat from 
that particular angle (appx 45 deg to light).  I printed the same 
print on the 2200 with the Epson UC inks and QTR and only have ever 
so slight a similar sheen - almost imperceptable. 

Specifics are: Kirkland Pro Glossy paper, MIS EZN inkset, printed 
following Paul's C86EZ-UT readme instructions as close as possible, 
from Photoshop CS, print with preview. 

Does this sound like something I can correct or is it a 
characteristic of the inkjet print? Again, when viewed from all 
other angles, the print looks really nice. 

Thanks,
Bill
