c82 MIS inks. Are they identical?

c82 MIS inks. Are they identical?

2004-02-24 by diegodehita

Hello all:

Yesterday, I got black and white inks for my epson c82 (easy black 
and white from MIS), but the yellow, magenta and cyan positions look 
identical. 
I made ink swabs and they look identical. It is possible ?
I want to try with the printer, but I want to know if the inks are OK.
I appreciate any help.

greetings,

Diego

The EZ C82 & C84 inks in the C, M & Y positions are identical.  The chips,
unfortunately, have position information that requires that the carts be put
in the correct positions -- at first.  Once they have been used a bit, the
location information seems to get removed, so the carts can be put into any
color slot.

There are 2 tones available -- neutral and warm.  The warm is pure carbine.
For a medium warm, use a few neutral and a warm cart.  This gives you a
fairly good range of tones.  

One ink tone issue remaining for me -- that I'll also ask at an upcoming
Genealogy Society meeting speech -- is whether I should mix a sepia ink for
the C82/84.
