Re: [Digital BW] Cone v. MIS

2006-09-13 by Michael Vendrell

I have had several issues with MIS quality control
including mislabeled carts (e.g Neutral ink in what
was supposed to be warm), non-functioning chips, etc. 
But when properly done by MIS, Paul Roark's ink-sets
and techniques have worked well for me both in a C86
and R220.

But I must also add that when I first got my NK7's 
for my 2200 from cone the inks were fine but the
profiles they posted in QTR were REALLY wrong.  They
did however 'discover' their error shortly afterward
and first make available for the asking and later post
corrected profiles in the latest version of QTR.


Both can make beautiful prints with ease of use and
variable tone nod going to MIS and smoothness nod
going to Cone. No reason not to try both and make up
your own mind or do as I do and use both depending on
what I want for the individual image and situation.

But in both cases you must look at what comes out and
be sure everything is as it's supposed to be.
