Re: [Digital BW] MIS Pro vs MIS K4

2006-06-21 by Keith R.

I do not and have not owned a 2200 printer, but from what I read, it 
is a 7 ink printer and uses the epson UC inks(5 colors and 2 blacks). 
The MIS Pro was designed to be used in this,and I assume other,"like" 
printers. The MIS K4 inks, are supposed to be equivalent to the epson 
K3 inks(5 colors and 3 black inks). Supposedly, it is the inclusion 
of the 3rd black ink(a light light black)that has helped with the 
bronzing. It has helped with better B&W on glossy material. As I 
stated, I don't have the 2200, but unless it has the slot for the 3rd 
black ink, I don't know how you can get it to work, short of using a 
rip, and even then, your not able to use all 3 black inks.
As to make up of the MIS Pro and MIS K4, I did find out that SOME of 
the inks are the same, and that the MIS inks do not have the micro 
encapsulation technology that the epson inks have. I specifically 
asked the forum admin(Marine) this and those were his replies, when I 
asked in late march and early april. I had just gottem a 4800 and 
having use MIS in the past with my 1280, I wanted to know what 
comparisons there were between the epson K3 and the MIS K4.
