Subject: Re: [Digital BW] C86 - question about MIS neutral tone inks
Im a recent convert to the Epson C86 from Canon/Lyson and am very
pleased with the results so far.
Here you go regarding what you need (I think I got it correct, someone
else check my list :-> ):
- CYM inks are all the same with the C86 EZ combo. So just buy a
bottle of C to refill CY and M.
- Buy Eboni black or Photo Black depending on whether you're printing
on Matte or Glossy paper, respectively - neutral or warm. I started
with neutral inkset.
- Buy two or more syringes (at least 2: 1 for black and 1 for CYM)
- Buy needles to go along with the syringes
- Buy 4 or more empty cartridges with chips
- Buy a chip resetter
- Buy a cartridge primer / bottom fill adaptor (a small plastic nub
that attaches to the syringe and *sucks* ink out through the cartidges
exit port..)
- Go to home depot and get a clamp to hold the cartidge while you're
filling it (this is optional, but I find it helpful)
- Optional, but you may also want to get some extra replacement
'chips' for the cartridges
Get it going and then you can play with using different combos of warm
and neutral inks
