Piezo MPS in R2400.

Piezo MPS in R2400.

2007-12-09 by uomo_link

Hi, I've already post this question in QTR thread, but actually should 
be here the right place. Has already anyone tried the new inks 
diluitions from J. Cone in a R2400? I'm waiting for the empty CIS from 
Eifillink, Piezo MPS sounds to be perfect for my works, -90% Matte 
papers, 10% HPRag pearl-, but if the issue is just the patience and 
care to profile the papers myself, that's pretty fine. My worry is 
about the state of diluitions for each channels, are they ready to be 
sold as they are, apart from the profiles? Any suggestions? Inkjetmall 
support seems to be too busy, and the local Piezography reseller (Milan-
Italy) isn't so precise about the reasons. Any help from the real world 
users will be great! Thanks.

Hi, I haven't used MPS but I have used the other K6/K7 inks in several
printers.  As far as I know at the moment MPS works just like any of the
other K7 inksets and uses their QTR profiles.  The GLOP channel, which will
allow this inkset to print onto glossy media hasn't been profiled by Cone
yet so the GLOP is not on general release, although if you want to profile
it yourself I think it is available by special request.  As the ink
dilutions are the same as the other K7 inks I don't think you need to be
concerned about them, they work very well for matte papers, the only
question is really whether you like the "selenium" tone.

suppose that the richer gradations I'd reach with Nk7 than with the 
actual E.k3, can give me enough to work with.

Why not contact Cone and get them to send you a sample?  If you like the
tone then go with the MPS.
