Mild warm inkset for 2200, with smooth print output

2005-11-03 by John Moody

Paul, others,
I agree that having more jets firing makes for smoother output.  What would
you think of the following inkset to exploit that characteristic?

All 7 slots of the 2200 are used.  Blend FS and FSN approximately 50% each
with some adjustment for tone based on paper white.
Eboni
UT-FS-C and UT-FSN-C
UT-FS-M and UT-FSN-M
UT-FS-Y and UT-FSN-Y

My recent work creating curves for UT-7 + UT-FS-Y on Kirkland, has resulted
in very smooth ramps and a very consistent dither pattern throughout the
range, similar to what you get with the EZ/Epson approach.  This only
happened after very critical evaluation (i1 and eye-ball) and fine
adjustment of the curves.  What I'm after is basically a monotone inkset
that is slightly warm, and has as many jets firing as possible for
smoothness.  I suppose I could try K7, but I would like the option to print
glossy as well.

Best regards,
John Moody
