MIS Pro Inks - color printing

2007-04-25 by Louis Dina

I know this is a B&W forum, but I know some of you use the MIS Pro Inks 
as a replacement for the Epson UC inkset.  Love the price, and my 
printer seems to clog less than it used to.  Perhaps it is the 
cartridge design or the inks themselves.

Those of you who roll your own profiles, how do the MIS Pro inks 
compare in terms of Dmax and color gamut?  I am using a 4000 and 
testing these inks currently on Epson EEM and VFA to get a comparison.  
So far, my tests show less gamut and Dmax on both papers compared to 
profiles built with UC inks and the same 918 patch test target 
(ProfileMaker5 and an Eye One Pro).  Viewed in ColorThink, the gamuts 
are definitely a little smaller and Dmax is also less.  

Targets were printed at 1440 dpi, SuperX turned off, No Color 
Adjustment, slow speed, and all other check boxes turned off.

Any feedback or suggestions?

Thanks,

Lou Dina
