Re: flushing liquid

2006-04-24 by john dean

Since I haven't used distilled water to attempt to flush out a system
I won't comment on that. It seems risky to me but I guess it is
possible. I wouldn't do it. I hate working on these machines and the
price of flush carts is very cheap in comparison.

I belive MIS associates also sells a flush fluid but inkjetmall sells
the media street version. Greg just listed another one he uses.

As to color I haven't found one that I would call a warm result with
these inks though Jon Cone suggests Innova Cold Press. I like that
paper a lot but it has a substantial texture that some like and some
don't. It resembles Arches Coldpress printmaking paper. Hahnemuhle
William Turner is a tad warmer than others but not much. Cone also
recommends one of the Bradford papers I believe. Look on their site. I
have't tried them yet. I do know that for a cool tone Premier Art
Hotpress works well ( Epson Ultrasmooth).
