Re: Silver Rag/BO printing/2200 question - anyone??

2006-04-28 by sagaface

Helen, thanks. I made note of your ink choices before...is this correct?

MK from 4000/4800 (same ink)
K3 PK from 4800
K3 LK from 4800
K3 LLK from 4800
K3 LC from 4800
Krystal Topkote
Blue from R800

I am confused about how the Topkote works. Is it in the 2200 you are printing from or do 
you have it in another printer? Before you sitched to a CIS, what was your method for 
getting your inks into tthe 2200 cartidges?

Sorry for the elementary questions but I am slightly trepidatious about filling my own ink 
carts. I guess it's probably easier than I think.
