Ultratone ink positions

Ultratone ink positions

2003-10-09 by Heath Sandall

Hello,

I'm getting ready to buy a set of ultratone inks and will be sharing a set 
of bottles with someone else.  I have an 1160 and he has a 1280.  Does 
anyone know if the C, M, Y positions are the same ink for both of these 
printers?  I was just going to buy a Hex set of bottles but want to make 
sure I can use the C, M, Y inks for the 1160.

Thanks for your help.

Heath

Heath,

For unfortunate historical reasons, the quadtone (1160) and hextone (1280)
UT ink positions are NOT the same.

The toners are in the magenta & light magenta positions in the hextone
printers.  The toner is in the yellow positing in the quadtone printers.
The single quadtone (Y-position) toner is the same as the dark magenta
hextone toner.

The lightest gray ink is in the yellow position in the hextone printers;
it's in the magenta position in the quadtone printers.  The same light ink
is used for both systems.

The cyan is the same in both types of printers.
