Re: Epson 1400 and CIS or Refillable Carts

2008-08-28 by scott_now_coming

I received my 1400 and ARC carts today.

The carts were easy to fill. They fit into the printer a little 
tight, but they work fine. 

I mixed some base fluid and installed it into the "color" carts and 
installed MIS Eboni into the "black" cart.

Printing through QTR with the BO settings on Premier Imaging 210 BW 
paper, the results are awesome!

As much as I like the 3mk printing through QTR with the R800, the 
results with a single black (Eboni)channel is even better.

I agree with Paul, that the single black channel (BO)prints smoother 
than the R800/1800 w/3mk.

I now plan to convert my R800 back to the Epson color inks for the 
few color prints I need to print each month.
