1280 + UT-2 + Roark workflow. Is Black ink position used?

1280 + UT-2 + Roark workflow. Is Black ink position used?

2004-01-09 by Mike Sommers

Hi,

I'm using the Epson 1280, UT-2 inks from MIS and Roark's workflow to 
print Black and Whites.

With this setup/workflow, is the Black ink position even used when printing?

I ask for two reasons..

1) if not, then I won't waste money on a bottle of black ink for 
refilling, since my printer will be dedicated to this setup/workflow for 
the foreseeable future

2) i have a clog in my black ink position that I can't get rid of for 
the life of me... if it's not being used, I'll just leave it alone.

Thanks,

Mike

Yes it is.  The black ink must match the paper -- Eboni for matte paper and
MIS Photo K for glossy/RC/Barrier paper.

Boy, I must be lucky, then... or blind...


or both.


I've got an obvious clog in my black cartridge (Eboni), yet I'm getting 
perfect 8 x 10 prints out of the printer using your method and the UT-2 
inks.  the clog represents itself as the same exact "dash" missing from 
nozzle checks every time. I've tried and tried to unclog it, but i think 
i'm going to have to send her in for pro repair.

My BO prints have a visible band every 1/8 inch or so.
