Re: [Digital BW] MIS VT with Paul's curves

2001-11-20 by tomoc@yahoo.com

Paul-

I've never seen anything that stated that greater than 360 dpi would 
produce better output, but I have seen claims that the Piezo driver 
either printed at 2100-2200 on an 1160.

I can tell you that when Piezo isn't clogging the print head, it 
really produces some smooth toned images... Unfortunately, it clogs a 
lot. I just ordered some MIS FS ink to try that on the 1160 with the 
Piezo driver (a real advantage is that the Piezo driver prints in 
about 1/3 the time of the Epson driver). If that doesn't work, I want 
to get the MIS VM and your curves... This sounds really excellent.

resolution: I read on the Piezo3000 list that the Cone driver can 
handle input files of more than 360dpi *and* print more detail, 
whereas the Epson driver´s limit is just 360. Can anybody say 
something about his experience with detail resolution and Epson vs. 
Cone? My MIS FS prints are nice, but its always interesting to get 
better...
