Re: [Digital BW] Re: Ebony 6 and Piezography K6 for Epson 1400

2008-08-17 by Michael Vendrell

Paul, Thanks for your reply.� I would plan to use two sets of carts -- just wondered how anal I need to be should there be a small amount of cross-mixing as in refilling a nearly empty EB6 MIS cart with Piezo K6?

Do you have any idea about� relative comparisons (warmth, etc) between these two approaches?� Both seem "on paper"� to be designed toward similar ends although yours can be used without a RIP whereas Piezo not so much -- although this is essentially a moot point for me since I have, use, and have already paid for QTR.

Thanks again... Michael

I have no idea if Eboni-6 and K6 are compatible.



I'd recommend a separate set of carts for each.



On the other hand, if you do use the same set of spongeless carts for 

both, I'd rinse with a solution of water (65%) and glycerol (35%) 

between the 2.  Water and glycerol are in nearly all injet inks.  So, 

that mix has the best shot at being compatible with both inksets.
