QTR-Quadtone RIP

Micro-banding (micro-micro banding? heh) exists in the 1430 with super tight-dot papers/films (glossy, Pictorico, etc). I’ve seen way less (to no) micro banding with CISS on that printer.

Working on possible R2000 CISS and R2880 CISS as well. Possibly R3000 (different setup) stay tuned.

The trick to all of these CISSs is to make sure we use the correct high-quality tubing. The default tubing for most CISS’s don’t cut it so we’ve put a lot of time and effort into testing a ton of different tubing configs.

probably off-topic for this thread but if anyone wants to know progress on this, the IJM forum will have it (inkjetmall.com/tech <http://inkjetmall.com/tech>) 

cheers all,
Walker
