Re: help diagnosing this 0-100% printout?

2010-01-20 by shileshjani

Hello JP,

Yes, your tone order for the 7000 appears correct and in agreement with
the K6 setup listed on inkjetmall's webpage for the 7000.

Also, let us remind ourselves that the 700 is a K6 setup while the 2200
is a K7. So one ink from K7 needs to be dropped to get K6. Which ink is
that? Which ink did you drop out from the same K7 bottles? You earlier
observed

  "Second thing: eyballing the two printouts it looks to me like the k5
ink is printing noticeably darker on the 7000 than on the 2200."

Therefore, I am begining to think that you dropped the wrong ink from K7
to make K6. Call inkjetmall and find out which is correct.
