Re: Printing in o.s.x 10.3.9 with 1160 and 1280f

2006-05-02 by Clayton Price

For whatever it's worth, I tried for a long time to make the drivers 
work in OS10. I printed for several years on two 1160's with Piezo 
inksets.  They worked fantastic
with OS 9. So when I upgraded my computers, I kept OS 9 and went back 
and forth for printing. A pain in the neck, but great prints.  It was 
with great pleasure that
I switched to the new NK7 inks  on a 2200, and retired the 1160's, as 
well as OS9.  Those problems, at least, are behind me. Now, I'd like to 
warm up those neutral
K7 inks and can only do so by looking for a warmer paper.  An 
suggestions from someone?
