Digital BW, The Print

I've been using the VM Roark inkset in an Epson 1200 (Mac OS 9) for 
about 9 months now.  Great setup, works like a charm (knock on 
wood).  I finally need to start replacing the ink (I don't print that 
much black and white; mostly color) and am evaluating switching to 
the VM Sepia inkset, the reason being that I print 90% of my images 
using the MW curve.  I'd like more variations on the sepia tone.  
Does the VM Sepia inkset work with the same curves?  Thanks, Howard

Howard,

I've never seen vm-sepia prints done with the 1200.  In the Files section
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint/files/>
 you can see the sample vm-s test strips that were printed with the 870 vm
curves. Follow the path to Files > Ink Sets > MIS > MIS Variable Mix > MIS
VM Neutral-Sepia.

With that printer, the standard curves worked well.  On most I find that
some tweaking is needed, especially for the neutral end of the range, which
uses the "warm" curve.
