Digital BW, The Print

I need to start fresh. I've misunderstood some basics.

Where is concise (not jargon-hobbled and pseudoscientific) instruction
on profiles, from most basic to most advanced (online hopefully)? 

Thanks! Djon

Hi

I'm using UT7 in a 2100 with Paul Roark's curves. Today I thought I'd try
the LC ink in the Y position and use the EEM curve provided for that
configuration. However the printer wouldn't accept this ink in the Y
position. The red light stayed on and I couldn't run a nozzle check as the
no or low ink warning cane on. Reseating it had no effect.

Should this work or do I need to still use a Y postion cartridge but with LC
ink in it? Or is it possible to swap the contacts on the cartridges?

Any help would be gratefully received

Thanks
Howard

Hello Howard,

I use a 2200 - sometimes if the red light stays on it's because the
cart isn't seated properly.  I've always been able to fix it by
removing/reinserting the cart.  The driver can test the cart's chip to
see if it's OEM (and pop up the "are you sure" warning), but I don't
think it can check the ink itself (someone correct me if this is
wrong).

If it absolutely won't accept it it may be a defective chip - I had
that once.


Regards,
Clayton

The ink slots on the chipped printers are color specific: therefore you must re-
chip the LC cartridge with a yellow chip. The chips can be purchased from 
MIS for a couple bucks. You could probably pull the chip from your existing Y 
cartridge as well. However, keep in mind that the ink usage is recorded on the 
chip as well, and unless your LC and Y cartidges are equally full, the printer 
will provide erroneous feedback on how much ink is in the cartridge.

Alternatively, you could buy an empty Y cartridge, and fill it with LC bulk ink. I 
am running LC in the Y position on my 2200, and the prints with no curves are 
quite neutral.
