Different ink usage...

Different ink usage...

2002-06-30 by André Vallejo

I've been using MIS VM-Inks with a MIS CFS for a while now. Very good
results. But I've been noticing that the black ink bottle empties MUCH
faster then the other three.Actually,the other three are almost at the same
level since I started...
The lines are feeding normally when I run cleaning cycles or turn the
printer on,,I'm printing RGB files with the driver's "Color" setting. What\ufffds
up?

Andre-

If you are worried about it, you can see from a purge file or even a 
simple nozzle check that all the colors are spraying correctly.

I use black up about 2x the rate of the other colors, but I'm sure 
different images or styles use ink differently. 

If you like the prints...party on...

Cheers,

Tom O'Connell
