Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

 

I have had a Canon IPF5100 for two years.  It is a great printer.  For
B&W-only printing, I use Joe Berndt's TrueBW RIP which has a great interface
for individual ink channel control and profiling.  I have used both QTR and
TrueBW and find TrueBW to have a far superior interface; unfortunately, it
only works with Canon IPF printers.  I get great "3BW ink" prints with this
machine and TrueBW.

 

The cartridges do not appear to be "user" refillable.  I am not sure that
you could engineer a system of all Black/Grey inks without Canon's
cooperation.  My ideal B&W printer would be a Canon IPF with TrueBW and Cone
"K10" inks as the printer has 12 channels.

 

George

I've been offered one of these but know nothing about it. My interest might
be to see if it is suitable for B&W with modified or non-Canon inks. Does
anyone have any experience with them and know whether there are refillable
carts?

Thanks,

Paul
