RE: [Digital BW] Re: QTR/Epson Inks

2005-01-29 by Jake Hellbach

Thanks, I do have a Epson 1270 with dedicated MIS b/w inks, but it decided
to have some head clogging problems that I still can't resolve so I moved to
the QTR on my 2200 to get some work out. 
Actually, so far I like the QTR with the 2200 better anyway.

QTR can work with ANY ink set so long as you control the ink jets correctly.
In my experience the MIS Ultrachrome 7600 colour inks are stable (and I
understand they have a longevity equivalent or better than the Epson UC
inks).  Up until very recently I had the same set up as you (albeit a 2100).
With good curves this does ok.  Moving to dedicated B&W inks (I still use
the MIS 7600 UC inks for colour in the same 2100) and introducing glop so
that you can print effectively to RC papers will give you another huge jump
forward.
