MIS FS vs MIS FSN in an EPSON1160

2005-05-30 by chatzebussi

Hello all

I still have an old EPSON 1160 with just one "black"-nozzle not firing
properly - I think that nozzle has gone for good. But I still get
fairly decent BO-printing results using 1440dpi and MIS Ebony k (As a
street photographer I can do with a certain dottiness - In actual fact
I even like it).

My question to the experts: If I were to "upgrade" Ebony k with a
"colour" cartridge for a different printing technique  should I choose
the "FS" oder the "FSN" version??? Put otherwise: is FS' or FSN's
original/inherent "hue" nearer Ebony's mildly warm k???

Why am I asking this question? The answer: I can't stand even ever so
slight hue "deviations" along the d-curve, e.g. one part being warm,
one part cooler, and one part more neutral ...

Of course I should like to get slightly more neutral prints than you
can get with the BO-Ebony-k technique but then I am a purist as far as
the overall hue goes. No compromise there (see above).

Thanks for any comments
