Limited Experiences Cone Driver / MIS FS inks
2001-08-24 by Ruhrfoto/Bernd L.
Fellows, as I´m rather experienced with Piezo-printing and I really love my piezo prints I would apreciate a lower ink price (which is US price plus about 35% in EU). So I decided to give MIS FS a chance. After only some days of experience and having published some of my preliminary impressions I can´t stress enough, that we are just at the beginning of the learning curve of printing MIS SF inks through the Cone driver. Though preliminary results are very promising and prints look rather alike....they a r e n o t a b s o l u t e l y i d e n t i= c a l (at least in my case). So, after the first euphoria has settled I must admitt, that I´m struggeling hard to get the same fine/smooth continous toning with the Cone/Mis combo - I used to get w i t h o u t struggeling with the original Cone combo. I don´t say its impossible. so this is not a disclaimer but, I´m sure, there will certainly come more ups and downs. So we should cool down a bit, stay sceptical and learn. So long. Bernd
