Digital BW, The Print

I'm currently using the Cone Piezo B&W ink cartridges in my Epson 
1200.

I would like to try the MIS FS inks in cartridge form (will continue 
using the Piezo software).  Does anyone know if I will need to flush 
the Piezo ink before using the new MIS cartridges?

I'd appreciate any recommendations based on your experience.

Thanks,
David Cook

David,

I did exactly what you have planned.  You do not need to flush the piezo
inks.

I bought bulk FS inks, several virgin cartridges and the vacuum refill bits
and pieces from the MIS.  I had a little trouble with the bottom filling
technique but have had none with the vacuum fill technique.  The prints look
great and the piezo system and paper profiles  work fine with the new inks.

Thanks for the info Kevin.  I'll look forward to trying the MIS FS 
inks (and the lower costs!)

Cheers,

What version is your Piezo Driver? I'm using 6.0.2 - and Epson 
Archival Matte is profiled, and works very well... but, maybe this 
version is the first to have it??

Hi,

I have the MIS FS Ink (not the latest- neutral) and Cone's Piezo Driver for
the 1160/3000.

I am not sure what setting to use in the Piezo Driver and Epson Archival
Matte paper 

I have set the ink type to Piezo and the Paper to unsupported, and latterly,
Epson Inkjet.

However I am getting some very prints with very strong contrast. I know its
not the inks
because when I apply John Woolfe's curve I get a good result.

I was therefore wondering what settings others were using with the Piezo
driver.

I have the Epson driver set to - No color adjustment, Color ink, 1440 dpi
and heavy weight matte, and all all the files sent are in grayscale.

Can anyone recommend a paper type for Epson Archival Matte for Cone's driver
? Is 
the "unsupported" type the best for Espon Archival Matte ?

Thanks very much for any advice.

Josh Smith

Josh, I use this combo exactly as if it were Cone's inks, set for Epson
Archival Matte and Piezo ink.  The latest version lists the Epson Archival
Matte paper profile.  Sounds like you may be using the older version.
