Glossy + Matte on the C86

Glossy + Matte on the C86

2005-10-06 by Mani Varadarajan

Hello,

I would like to print both glossy and matte on a newly purchased
C86 (being shipped as I write) using the UT inks. I understand that
the recommended inksets are different for the two varieties. Can
I swap cartridges out as I switch papers? I looked through the
archives but couldn't find an answer to this question.

Thanks,
Mani Varadarajan

Mani,

Yes, all you have to do to go from matte to gloss paper is switch the black
cart from Eboni to Photo Black, or the neutral Photo Black called "PKN."

My Readme at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/C86-EZ-UT-Readme.htm might be
helpful to you.

Re: Glossy + Matte on the C86

Hi Mani (and everyone else - and thanks to the moderators for this 
forum). 

I'm also new here - it sounds like you (Mani) and I are in the same 
boat. I also have a new C-86 on the way, and a set of MIS 'E-Z' UT 
carts. 

I'm assuming you can remove and replace the two blacks as you change 
papers, I'm not sure. Do you remove the unused cartridge and wrap it in 
gladwrap and store it upside-down, for example(?) I'm hoping it will go 
right back in and re-seal without a problem.

I'm glad for this site, though so far to me it looks like the content 
is a bit out of the depth of digital B&W beginners. Not for long, I 
hope.

Thanks guys.

Dave

Paul,

Thanks for the prompt reply. Can these cartridges be readily swapped
on the fly, i.e., can I leave an open cartridge sitting around
while its replacement for the other paper type is installed,
and vice versa?

Yes, I do it all the time.  If one is going to be out of the printer for
long I use a syringe full or water to rinse the outlet.  In any case I
always put a piece of tape over the outlet.  What I'm afraid of is ink
drying and getting into the printer.

You can switch from Eboni matte black to Photo Black for glossy paper, and
the other way around, without any problems.

If I'm going to use the cart again in a matte of days, I just put some clear
tape over the outlet.  I fold one end of the tape onto itself so that it
will be easy to remove the tape before re-installing the cart.  Store them
in the same position they'd be in the printer -- outlet down.
