Re: Suggested Monochrome Inkset for Epson 2200?

2006-11-13 by Mark Stracke

A set of Cone K7 inks costs $119.00. Not free, but not terribly expensive. Try it out and 
see what you think.

 The profiles for the 2200 that come with QTR are *very good* - made by Cone & Co. You 
might find that your files need adjusting if you were used to printing heavy since Jon likes 
to make use of a subtle ramp from white to black. Viewing your files through the grey 
matte profile that is installed with QTR will give you a pretty good idea of how your files 
will print, if your monitor is profiled that is.

If you don't like the K7's it's easy to move on to something else. Put the Epson inks back in 
and print a bit till the grey goes away and you're back at square one. I have found the K7's 
to be very nice and haven't swapped them out since I first tried them.
