Re: [Digital BW] MIS EZ-N inks for the C86 - are CMY the same ink?

2005-11-09 by Kip Babington

As other have confirmed, the C, M and Y of EZ inks are the same ink.  
Remember that you can use this to your advantage in tuning the tone of 
your output from neutral to warm by judicious placement of cartridges.  
For example, neutral in K, C and M with warm in the Y position gives 
results just slightly warmer than the straight neutral setup, warm in M 
is slightly warmer yet, and warm in M and Y warmer still.  I believe 
Paul Roark posted a chart someplace with the mix-&-match progression 
from pure neutral to pure warm.
Cheers,
Kip
