Re: [Digital BW] MIS original (more newbie q's)

2001-12-15 by markhahn2000

Thanks Paul,

Instead of buying a couple of different inks I'd rather start out 
making a good choice and spend enough time with it to really know 
what I can do with it.  It seems that this process could easily take 
more than one set of carts so it just makes sense to just jump right 
in buy the CFS (the MIS units are really quite cheap considering).  I 
guess I want someone to stick their neck out and say, "hey, if you 
use this ink set and this workflow you are going to get great 
prints!"  From the MIS site there is one workflow for the 1160 and 
Original and one for FS, can anyone say give a personal opinion which 
is *better*?  ...I'm looking for opinions and reasons...

How about qualitative statements regarding the difference in look 
between the Original and FS etc.?  Isn't the original warmer than the 
FS?

If I find that the free workflows don't work for me I don't have 
anything against following any of the tutorials out there to develop 
my own, anyone have experience doing this and can suggest the best 
approach?
