Digital BW, The Print

Dave,

Since you started out with a fresh CIS you probably purged the nozzles with
the first nozzle check. The 1160 doesn't hold much ink between the cartridge
and the nozzle.

If you are not getting the variations in hue, then go back and double check
all your settings in the driver to match Paul's workflow. See:

http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/workflow_roark.html

(If the address line wraps don't you will have to cut and paste it back
together.)

I believe Paul's very cool image was probably done with one of the cold
curves which got dropped from development since they did not seem to get
much use. Contact Paul directly and see if he can send you the last version
of the cold curve for the 1160 or perhaps someone else can send it to you. I
only have the 1280 curves.

I get 4 very distinct tones with the VM inks. Possibly you have a
setting wrong somewhere. Or it could be the paper you use. You can use
the cold curve, and slide the magenta slider all the way to the right,
and you will get it quite blue. (The Magenta position bottle is pretty blue).
