Digital BW, The Print

I have begun to experiment with the MIS VM inkset on the 1280. I have
also tried the VM inks on my 1160. Although the 1160 is very good, I
wanted to try the 1280 to see if I could get even smoother output.  So
far I have found that the 1280 is only a very slight improvement.. and
only a visible improvement on some images on close examination.

My question is regarding the inks:

When printing the MIS 6 color purge image I was surprised to see that
the Yellow position ink and the Photo Cyan position ink are almost
identical, with the Yellow position ink being ever so slightly lighter.
I bought pre filled cartridges from MIS so I have no bottles to view the
raw ink. Are these the correct inks for this set ??

My other question is <and maybe Paul knows the answer to this> : When
printing with the Warm curve, are any of the two blue toner inks being
used at all? Perhaps in the deep shadows or mixed with the black ink?


Thanks in advance!
