Re: [Digital BW] Ink Dilution Ratios

2007-03-11 by Bob Marsolais

Paul,

You said "I'm not sure if MIS sells the good glossy-compatible base by
itself. What I see on what they call the "Roark's Lab" page is the old
base, which will bronze terribly on glossy paper. Glop, however, also
sold off that page, works well as a base for the UT inks."

What does glop do to matte paper if it is used to dilute the LC and
LK?  Does this still allow you to switch only the black cartridge
between MIS-Eboni and MIS MP_PK for all papers between matte and
glossy?  (For the sake of other readers, I'm referring to a 6 color
inkset like the 1280 or 220.)

It would appear that the $300 R1800 refirb is a killer deal if one is
willing to sacrifice ABW simplicity for more permanent inks. 
Considering the 1280's minimum drop size is 4 pl, it may require the
LLK like your 7500.  It sounds like your 6 ink set should work great
for the 1.5 pl 220 series printers.

Thanks again,

Bob
