4 vs. 6 inks for MIS Variable Tone Inks?

4 vs. 6 inks for MIS Variable Tone Inks?

2001-08-17 by John Vitollo

Hi All.

What a great list - packed full of info!!!

Are there pros and cons of 4 vs. 6 inks for MIS Variable Tone Inks?

I have both 1160 and 1200 printers and wanted to know if there is an
advantage of either system.

At the MIS site I only see Paul's curves for the 1280. The curves probably
don't work with the 1200 - how easy is it to tweak those curves if I go with
the 1200?

I'm down to my last Piezography inks and printing with some success/problems
but the ink prices are over five times the price of MIS Quads. For that
price a wouldn't mind doing a little curve tweaking! Also having the ability
to tone is cool also.

Best Regards,

John V.
