[Digital BW] MIS Hextone set Question

2003-01-17 by Paul Roark

Tom,

>Mix Quad inks for the 1160 can be used in place of the
>1200 hextone set? ...

The only differences/additions are the light/photo inks -- the light toner
and light cyan (gray).  NOTE, the hextone and quadtone ink positions are
different.  In the quadtone 1160 the single toner is in the Yellow position.
In the hextone 1200 the toner is in the Magenta position (so as to take
advantage of the light/photo position).  The Magenta-position toner is the
same as the quadtone yellow-position toner.

So, all you have to do is buy some Photo/light cyan (gray) and Photo/light
Magenta (the light toner).

I believe you can use the 1160 inks. You just need to get the photo 
magenta and photo cyan.

The Enhanced black (Generations 4) from media street is a deeper black 
and fully compatible with the vm inks, you
might want to consider it as a replacement for the vm black.

Thanks Paul!

I assume the 1160 Cyan position ink goes in the Cyan poisition in the 1200, 
and the Magenta 1160 ink goes in the yellow position in the 1200.

Is this correct?

Thanks Jerry, I have been using Generations black with the original MIS Quads 
for a while.  The MIS black dye is even better!  (but with less permanance.)
