Old set of Piezo NK7's for 2200 problem & questions

2006-10-01 by Michael Vendrell

For several reasons related to my non-photographic
life and some initial problems with incorrect profiles
my 2200 set idle for about 9 months with an originally
new set of piezo NK7's in it.  Last night, finally
with the time and the upgraded QTR profiles loaded, I
fired it up.  No mater what I did I couldn't get the
position 1 Black to fire so I changed that position
only to an MIS Eboni I had on-hand and voila' -
ignition and lift-off.  (I don't have a spare NK7
black to put into the printer at present - not to
mention they are $17 each!)

I know this is a bit wacky - but does anyone know what
the effect of using Eboni (or Epson UC MK for that
matter) would be if the remaining set of NK7's (2-7)
remained in the printer.  Yes, I know I can try it and
indeed I will probably use what's left of this set in
doing so, but didn't want to re-invent the wheel if
someone else had already been down this road.


I also like the idea of using the Eboni for BO
printing  as I don't have experience with the NK 7 MK
for this purpose and just leaving the 2-7 Nk's in the
machine for septone.  Anyone have experience here?

Thanks for your indulgance.
