Digital BW, The Print

A note of caution - in the past Lyson inks have been incompatible with other inks and flushing with cleaning carts has been necessary when changing to something like MIS inks.  Not taking this precaution can result in a clogged printhead.

MIS has 1160 inksets listed at http://www.inksuppl y.com/ut_ kits.cfm



Search by printer.



The list includes the original "UT" (UltraTone) B&W variable-tone inkset that should have 3 grays and a single cold toner in the Y position.  The list also includes monotone inksets -- FS and FSN.  The FS is medium warm and the FSN is neutral/cool.



One can also use the Eboni/Carbon- 6 inksets in the 1160 as long as you know how to profile inks.



My general index is at http://www.paulroar k.com/BW- Info/ The 1160 and UT inksets are too old to be listed there, but MIS might still have my write-ups and profiles.  The index page above gets you to the newer inksets.

The  1160 I am using at this time is only about 1 year old, I bought a brand new one on ebay to replace my previous well worn printer. On ordering to restock the black ink today I discover that Lyson have discontinued this product. I did manage to obtain one 125cc K ink to keep me going for a while. I use the quadtone rip software to do my printing and am very pleased with the results. So what is the best plan to replace the inks when my current bottles are depleted. Can I replace the individual ink channels with another manufacturers ink, like MIS for example. Can I obtain any of these alternative quad inks in the UK ( no luck with google searching for this answer so far). I would appreciate ant advice and suggestions the group members may have to offer.
