Digital BW, The Print

I called MIS today and ordered 4 bottles of VM inks, I will simply try them
out on my current 1160 - if I like it I can see if I get an additional 1290,
but if the cooler curves are pretty much the same as the FS, why go on with
those? In this case the VM set just gives you greater freedom :-)

I am waiting curiosly...

Greetings Bernhard

Paul, Bernhard,
under Windows ME it was possible to run the 1290 with the 1280
driver. Using Paul\ufffds curves. I got prints in "piezo-quality" (16 bit
file, 2880dpi printing possible).
Meanwhile I switched to WinXP. Now I can\ufffdt run the 1290 with an
1280 driver any longer. As there is no German 1290 WinXP driver
available yet,  I downloaded an English 1290 WinXP driver from
the   www.Epson.co.uk   site.
this combo works, but my 1290 prints became rather flat now
and with my old monitor settings I have no WYSIWIP any longer.
Have to calibrate the system again (using a custom dot gain
curve), but have not finished it so far. So my results are
preliminary.
Bernd
PS:
Bernhard, if you buy an 1290 with MIS VM HEX there will probably
be no need for an 1160 with MIS FS any longer.
