Digital BW, The Print

Harry,

 

I have a Niagra CIS in an old Epson 1280 with Cone K6 inks.  It produces a
beautiful matt print - far better than even the quadtone Cone Inks I used
before.  Compared to the quadtone system, I picked up a whole new range of
subtlety that was missing.

 

In my opinion, a CIS is the only way to go once you have decided on a
particular inkset for a desktop printer.  The cost per print and capacity
are far better than individual cartridges.  The Niagra CIS is well thought
out and easy to install.

 

I am sure that the same will be true for your 2400.  Depending on your
application, you may want to wait a little.  Cone is releasing an MPS inkset
that will work with glossy and matt papers with 6 dilutions of ink and a
gloss optimizer for the 2400 and other 7 ink printers.

 

Best Regards,

George Pappas

Subject: [Digital BW] Zeroing in on CIS

 

I'm about to commit to a CIS system for my R2400.

Although I was a steady customer of MIS back in the day of my 1160, I'm now
looking 
seriously at the Cone K7 system.

If I have it right, this consists of the ACC-N4S-R2400 (Niagra IV from Media
Street) feeding 
system coupled with seven (+1) 4-oz bottles of grayscale inks from Cone.

I haven't read much about this system here, so I'd like to get some feedback
from current 
users.

TIA

Harry
