Re: RR "Aurora Art" is Better for Proofing than EEM !

Hello Paul,

>a tad warm...wondering what you'd suggest for something cooler...
>Once I load an MIS black (Eboni or Black) cartridge...

Since you aren't using Eboni yet, I recommend withholding judgement on
the color until that's installed.  If it's still too warm then there
are several cooler papers that are real nice.  Peregrine Smooth (used
to be Merlin Smooth), Condor BW and Kayenta are my favorites (details
in the Paper Chase article).


>can I leave my OME color carts where they are...

Yes, they aren't used during BO printing.


>for when I want to do color prints? 
>Will they be happy with this black cartridge intruder"?

Well, they are dye inks, so they will fade quickly.  And since Eboni
is pigment it probably won't be a good match (try it and see what
happens).  Probably best to put in pigment color inks.  Or put in the
R2 inks and get another 220 for color.

Regards,
Clayton
