Re: R1800 or 2200 better for use with Piezo K7 inks?

2007-08-23 by Jeff Randall

IMO, the extra ink position of the R1800 should not influence your 
decision. In fact it is just one more extraneous thing to deal with. 
A cleaner cart will only keep the jets associated with the cart 
position clean.  It won't keep the entire head clean. So why bother?

The smaller drop size is very important if you are using Paul 
Roark's 3-Eboni Black only workflow.  The larger drop size should 
not affect the smoothness or ink drop visibility of the K7 prints.
