Re: [Digital BW] MIS VM Ink Color Change

2005-11-03 by Tony Kelly

Ken,

I also am not at all convinced by MIS's response to you. Our experience
recently with newly purchased VM inks completely concurs with your own.
Reference prints we have produced in the past no longer have the same hue.
It looks like the magenta position ink VM-QUAD-4M is a completely different
tone. Prints which should have warm hue now have a perceptible greenish
cast.

Whilst I think overall MIS provide much needed product I have found their
technical backup to be less than satisfactory on occasions.

I think Paul's suggestion re UT inks is sound, the issue remains however
that if this is an MIS screw up, what confidence do we have that changing
from one MIS product to another will guarantee a consistent product.
