Limited Experiences Cone Driver / MIS FS inks

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
