Eboni-6 Variable Tone - (more or less) the same results with 1400 and 3880?
2016-02-26 by Thilo Resenhoeft
Hello everybody, I'm following Paul Roarks great work on the Eboni-6 Variable Tone inkset with the blue toner (http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-Variable-Tone.pdf) (Thanks for sharing your results, Paul!) I've equipped a 1400 with this inkset. Everything works well (using QTR). In addition, I have a 3880 sitting next to my desk. Now my question: Is there any use for having this inkset in a 1400 AND in a 3880? (Right now I don't really need prints greater than 13x19 inch) In other words: Will I see any difference between a 13x19 print made with an 1400 and one from the 3880? Of course, the curves are different, the dilution of the toner is different, and the number of ink channels used is different. So I'll have to relinearize the 3880 curves for my papers here in Germany, as I did with the curves for the 1400. But besides these points - are there "substantial" differences between Eboni-6 Variable Tone in a 1400 and a 3880? Or will the results be (more or less) the same? Thanks for your advice, best wishes from Germany, Thilo
