Pual Roark's workflows for epson 1270 works for epson 780 too?

2003-10-27 by geniuskim2

I have a epson stylus photo 780 printer and I am trying to print out 
B&W photo with MIS VM inksets. I made a B&W print on Epson 
Heavyweight Matte paper by following intruction with curves ( epson 
870/1270, 870/1270 no color adjustments, epson 890/1280) but prints 
turned out with weird color. Warm and cool tone inks(brown and blue I 
guess) outstand too much, so entire pictures look murky. This is 
because of curves only work for 870/1270 or Archival epson paper?

The curves for the MIS VM an UT inks are, generally, very printer specific.
The 870/1270 curves work on those 2 printers only because the 870 is just
the letter-size version of the 1270.  Aside from size, the drivers appear to
be the same.

So, I do not recommend use of the VM or Ultra Tone inks with a printer that
is not supported with curves that are just for the particular printer you
plan on using.
