Printing with MIS Ultratone FSN in an Epson 2000P
2005-11-09 by Andrew Brilliant
Has anyone used this combination using MIS cartridges pre filled. And following Paul Roarks workflow. I was printing early on with an 1160 and the cone inks and later mis using the piezography software and had success. I ran through two 1160's that need to be refurbished or chucked. I was busy working on commercial assignments and was not doing any printing but now I need to get back to B&W so I am hoping to get the 2000p working as a black and white printer. I followed the Roark workflow on OS10 but the epson driver and photoshop CS2 have slightly different setting options and so far no luck in getting any kinds of matches to screen. Plus the driver is adding extra lines outside of the image. Strange, I thought maybe it was mechanical. When I switched to Photoshop 7 and OS 9 I did have better results but I don't want to go back there unless it is absolutely the only way to go. Also I am running into some clogs with these cartridges and the the 2000P never ever clogged with epson ink and this is making me very nervous about this choice. Is anyone else out there working with the 2000p and having success??? If you are, can you refill these cartridges easily. I have already contacted Paul and he was helpful but I got the impression that he has not used this particular combination of inks and systems in the 2000p Andrew Brilliant www.brilliantpictures.com
