Re: MIS UT2 CIS from 1280 in a Stylus Photo

2005-04-22 by Jerry in Houston

Thanks Don for your help ... I bought mine on ebay,
refurb, for $69 + shipping and received it yesterday. 
I have installed the OEM inks to check out the machine
and am blown away by both the BO and color prints on
EEM I have gotten.  I am  thinking of getting another
to use with what color pics I want.  I have developed
a problem that I think is a Photoshop problem, not a
printer problem in that it no longer wants to print in
color using PS7 while the same pic loaded in Irfanview
will print in great color.  Have uninstalled and
reinstalled the latest Epson driver but no joy.

I have not yet taken on installing the MIS UT2 CIS
inks but it looks like a pretty simple install.  I am
actually thinking about buying a couple of the new
clear refillable carts, they are cheap enough, and
just using the inks I have from the CIS and avoid all
the tubing.

BTW, what is the CMCMY config?  and you say you use
Pauls regular UT2 curves?  Sounds interesting,

<<Jerry,

I have just installed MIS UT Full Spectrum inks with 
Eboni black in the new CMCMY 
configuration in my Stylus Photo 900.  Using Paul's 
curves, the prints are quite stunning on 
any matte papers that I have thrown at it.  As these 
inks and curves are specifically for the 
1280, I can only assume that your inks will work in a 
similar fashion.

Since the 900 uses the same inks as the 1280, you get 
the larger capacity color cartridge 
with the small format printer.  Also, they are going 
for a steal online, but I purchased mine 
from Arditios as a close out for 109 (new).
