RE: [Digital BW] Magenta cast on UTFSN prints...

2006-08-28 by Daniel Staver

I have the same experience with the FSN inks I bought for my 3000 printer.
The C is greenish, the M is purplish and has almost the same density as Y,
and Y is also too purplish, but much closer to neutral than M. Basically the
inkset as I received it is useless. I've told MIS about it, and I'm
returning them samples of the inks now so they can do some testing.

I have to agree with you, pure carbon inks seems like a better idea at this
point.
