QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hello,

Thank you for hour help.

Ok, I guess the OCP optimiser is a good option (Ernst has good experience
with it)

The cartridges I wanted to use:
http://www.octopus-office.de/en/shop/details/c/refillable-ink-cartridges-for-epson-t1571-t1579/p/fill-in-patronensatz-fuer-epson-stylus-photo-r-3000-mit-auto-reset-chips/
Do you think they are ok?

I see 2 potential setups:

Setup 1
---------
The HP Vivera PK + optimiser option.
Question: Only 6 slots are filled (1 PK and 5 greys), the other 3 I should
fill with optimiser?! What about filling these with Eboni-6 (mixed in
different dilutions) to add some warmth if necessary.

Setup 2
---------
I read about your 'EbHP 2013 Ink Arrangement'.
Could this be a potential setup for the Epson R3000?
In this setup you have 6 slots filled with Eboni-6 and 2 slots filled with
HP Vivera PK
The last empty slot can be filled with optimiser I guess?

For setup 1, and related to the dilutions:
----------------------------------------------
Your advice is to work with 10 ml syringes. I think I will buy the 10 ml
syringes and some 50 ml syringes. The 10 ml syringes are partinioned in 1
ml steps, so I can easily work per ml.

I made a custom table, based on your advice.
Let's say I use the 130 ml HP Vivera PK cartridge, and my printer
cartridges are 26 ml each.. I'll use 110 ml bottles and fill them with 100
ml diluted inks. (This makes 1 time mixing, and I can refill my catridges 4
times with this setup... (4x25ml))

The table:






As you can see, my real % are close to your advice. But you said that they
don't have to be exact the same... (Consistency is the most important).

Ok, like this?

And I fill the rest of the cartridges (3) with OPC optimiser?! Or do I fill
them with (diluted) Eboni-6?

Thank you!

Ben Albu
