Digital BW, The Print

The FSN is a blended carbon + color pigs inkset.  I used a variant of it in
my 7500, I called the FSN+ inkset.  It shows significant tone changes if the
printer sits very long without being used.  I'm now trying a non-blended
approach to see if it reduces the tone changes.  I have not measured the
tone shifts in the new approach yet.  So, it's too soon to see which
approach will be better.  (I'm betting on the non-blended approach.)

Paul,

Am I right in assuming that UT-FS is NOT a blended ink-set? And if so,
is it entirely free of tone shifts due to infrequent use of the printer?
I can imagine that in pigment based inks -blended or not- the pigments
settle when they stand still for some time.

Greetings,
