RE : RE: [Digital BW] R800-1800 Eboni Carbon Core variations -- Eboni + OEM color or EZ inks for B&W Gloss printing?

2007-05-14 by Jean Claude Parent

Yeah !!!
  so you got it !!!
  dual abilities "color & Good B&W" for the R1800/800 but as said before , only for Mat papers...
   
  does a "pearl" surface have a lot of metamerism by printing with the Ebony Black  when one would get a color print on this "pearl" surface?
   
  If Yes, what about spraying an "gloss agent against UV" to get a "so gloss" apparence?
   
  Bravo !!
  As I said previously, I'll jump to MIS Ebony If you succeed... so time is coming for me to leave LYSON !
   
  and 
  1)to buy some emptyed MIS cartridge to change mine full of Lyson inks
  2) to flush my printing heads with cleaning fluid
  3) to install the new emptyed cartridges and set up my CIS (after a complete flushing of tanks and tubing system of the Lyson CIS sytem)
  4) enjoy real B&W printing !!!

          I've worked with numbers of carbon channels from 1 to 6. There is such a
thing as too many here. I'd peg 4 as the optimum. 3 Eboni channels prints
better than 6 channels and visually indistinguishable from 4 channels.

Thus, with 8 channels available, the 1800 can support dual channels of
excellent printing.

One option that uses this is full color printing as well as the Eboni 100%
carbon printing. For those who do full color and also want what is probably
the most stable and lightfast digital B&W system we have, the 1800 is a very
interesting alternative. In this alternative, all the colors are OEM or MIS
alternatives. The color prints with the usual Epson driver workflow. I did
a few color prints and they were excellent. The Eboni is in the MK, PK, and
Glop channels. They are controlled by QTR. Only matte paper can be printed
this way.

A second option that will appeal to those who would rather have a glossy B&W
alternative, the 1800 can support a separate EZ-N or other B&W printing
inkset. I may put an EZ-N set with PK in my 1800 next (as well as, of
course, the Eboni channels for carbon matte printing). I want the MIS PK
there to be able to warm the Eboni in any case.

At any rate, this 8-channel, 1.5 pl R800/1800 printing platform appears to
give us the capability of running dual inksets. I think this is rather
cool.
