RE: [Digital BW] UT2, 1280 problems

2005-03-08 by Paul Roark

If your UT2 prints look too dark, you should check to see if the cartridge
was loaded correctly.  This is done by printing a color test file (Purge6-2)
and comparing the results to scans of what the print should look like.

The test files are on my web page at 
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/Test-files.htm

If you have a bad cart, contact MIS.  They will replace it.

Mistakes happen.

Subject: [Digital BW] UT2, 1280 problems


Hi All,

I'm hoping someone on the list can give me a clue on
this problem, because I'm going nuts!

I recently bought a replacement 1280, my old one
having died. I'd been using UT2 inks in my old 1280
and was very happy with the results. So, I loaded up
UT2 inks in my new 1280 and the same images are
printing horribly! The midtones are printing too dark
and the shadows have a dull cast to them.

I've checked the nozzles and they are fine, the only
thing that looks a bit suspect is that, when I run a
purge test, the C and M inks look like they might be
reversed.

Could this (possible) ink reversal be the source of my
problems? How likely is it that MIS messed up? If this
is the problem, how do I correct it? New inks?!

Thanks,

Rob
