change over procedure

change over procedure

2005-05-07 by Peter Mc Mahon

I have finally got around to look at changing the MIS  VM cart  inks for 
my 1160. A couple of questions.
[a] Do I need to completely change the cart setup and replace with new?
[b] If I don't, what is the best procedure for ink replacement?
[c] What would you suggest as being the best inkset replacement either way?
all advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Peter.

Peter,

The UT inks are the replacement for the VM inks.  I made some UT curves for
the 1160 also.

In general, I think the UT inks show a bit more dot that the VM because the
warm gray is warmer -- pure carbon (what the VM warm gray would fade to
after a while).

If you want variable tone, however, the UT is it.

If you mostly do the same tones and they are within the range of the UT-FS
or FSN, then those monotone inksets will print a bit smoother on the 1160.
I have also made some curves for them, and they are much easier to make new
curves for if and when you want.

I would replace the old carts with new ones.  That is, don't mix the inks.

Good luck with the change over.
