Digital BW, The Print

Hello.
I've used piezography Icc my old epson 1200 and
,exept the  high price of the inks, everythings worked fine and the 
prints are beautiful.

Now, I'm trying VM-MIS inks and i'm having a lot of problems.
The prints have too dark blacks. I follow all the instructions as 
written in the site but I still have dark prints.
Does anyone can give some advice?
I need a help . I use the right curves for my printer and the right 
settings but somethings dosen't work.
Thank you...
Sari

The MIS UT-FS and FSN inks are PiezoBW clone inks.

I've never had a 1200.  There may be some 1200 curves, etc. out there for
the old, original MIS VM inks, which were "updated" to the UT(1) inks, but
they may, indeed, print a bit differently.

I'm not sure what MIS has out there -- probably the old VM instructions.

You could also re-linearize the workflow with an ICC in the print preview of
Photoshop or Elements.  The Create ICC applet is in Roy Harrington's QTR
download. For instructions on the procedure, see
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/Embedding_Photoshop_Curves_in_ICCs.pdf  

You can even use a flatbed scanner to do this.  See

Good luck.

Thank you paul for the help.

I spent a better sunday.

I used QTR on a pc and I managed to create a good curve using only 4 
inks on my 1200 and the prints are good enough.
It has been much more difficult on mac.I still didn't manageged to 
create a curve with this version of software. It's all in english 
and more difficult for me to understand
Now i'm trying to use the other two toner (blue).
How much amount of ink (toner) should be used to create a more 
neutral print? 20% 30%?
