( Sorry to clogging up this site talking about color pigments, it is just that this is the most 
intelligent and useful sites I've encountered. I'll try to end this topic now)


 "I suspect you could just use the UC yellow and not do any harm to anything."
Paul R.

 I guess that is the million dollar question for me right now.

 Paul this is what I would like to do to avoid changing the inkset altogether. Maybe I 
could use the Ultrachrome M Black or Ebony as well. But my primary challenge is not 
permanence beyond Ultrachrome or the original CF K ink, but reducing metamerism in the 
warm colors while also giving much greater saturation in those colors that contain yellow. I 
would have to come up with a chipped 10K cart and fill it with UC yellow which wouldn't 
be easy of course.

I guess what I don't understand at all is why I haven't heard others talking about this 
change. There are thousands of us out there that have fine running stable 10K machines 
that perform outstandingly except in this yellow channel oddity and Epson only 
"retrofitted" these machines for a very short period of time to Uc. Now they want you to 
replace the printer. They are so much faster than the 9600.

The short of the long of it is I would like not to have to completely change over to Lyson's 
Cave Paint, though that is a very strong possibility. Now that I work with the 9600 I just 
can't live with these CF reds anylonger, especially on rc media with skintones.

But if I end up wrecking my heads on a printer that is out of warranty, that would be worse 
than leaving the Epson inks behind altogether in favor of Cave Paints.

Is there any place that I can check to see if anyone has tried substituting the yellow or 
even the black channel on this inkset and leaving the others in place? I bet someone has.

Thanks again,

John
