Hextone non-variable inkset choice

Hextone non-variable inkset choice

2004-04-28 by Dimitri

Hi all,

A totally noob question here. I am trying to find an inkset that 
actually has 6 shades that are used together (e.g. not a variable mix 
set). The ones that I have looked at so far seem to either have only 
four tanks or double up on two of the shades. I have an Epson 1280, 
Bowhaus IJC, an X-rite 810, and some really nice Hahnemühle papers 
(Photorag, really heavy Photorag and Japan).

Any points in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Dimitri Katsaros

I'd like to know if you're successful using heavyweight paper with the 1280.
