RE: [Digital BW] Re: Switching black inks - Epson 4800

2007-03-25 by Eric Neilsen

It is only 4 inks not all 8. I haven't looked at all the paper choices that
are grayed out in both set ups, but is it really worth the potentially
wasted time of finding out? Seeing what does and does not work right?  I
have been running tests on OPH lately with PK after a printer exchange, and
plan to just use the swap out that Epson has set up for us. I have
previously made my negs with MK even though some say it doesn't work; it
does you just need to be careful and not handle the out put too roughly.

There is another solution:
Use one of the chipped funnel-fill cartridges from MediaStreet or MIS, 
chipped for the PK or MK, whichever you want to switch to. Order the
appropriate 
bottled ink from either source, and fill the cart. 
You can now insert the cart with mis-matched ink and print out the ink lines

until you are getting the MK or PK on the paper.
This works very well because you can eye-ball the ink level and never run 
dry.
Cheaper too.
