Re: [Digital BW] Buying an Epson 9500 - some questions

2008-06-29 by Michael T. Murphy

You don't beed to buy cleaning carts or fluid.

Just use some of the base for the Carbon 6.  Add ammonia and 
isopropyl alcohol (about $3 each.) Run an INIT fill 3-4 times using 
the refillable carts you are going to buy before you put any -
ink in them.

Are the carts for the 7500 the same as for the 9500? Lyson has carts 
for the 7500 for $210.  You can have them drop shipped through 
inkjetart.com

I ordered a set for the 7600 and they worked perfectly the first time 
I installed them. I have had trouble with quality control with other 
vendors and had to returnm 1/3 to 1/2 of the carts I received, could 
not get them to work.

The biggest "drawback" to Carbon 6 is thAt it is matte only. I am 
trying to move to all Photo Black printing for color. I also want to 
print on the new fiber papers. So i will probably move to the Cone 
inks for glossy. But no hurry, I have 1/2 of a liter of Carbon 6 to 
use up first. ;>)  

Very nice prints from Carbom 6. I am proofing on Epson Enhanced 
Matte, final prints on Moab Entrada Bright White. The Ultrasmooth and 
Somerset Velvet also produced very nice prints with Carbon 6.

Good luck!

Best,
Michael
