Hi All I have just aquired an Epson 1160 printer which I intend to use for black and white only. I have been advised to look at QTR but I wonder if anyone can recomend the inks and where I can sourse them that I should choose. Thanks for any help. Jim, a newbie.

Hi Jim,
I used to have an 1160 and I used MIS Quadtone inks. However the
heads clogged on me and could not be repaired. I must note that I didn't
print everyday. In fact it was months between printings.
I now have an Epson 1280 and the heads are much better for pigmented
inks. I love the MIS inks.
Just wanted to let you know

I also have an 1160, and am happily using the MIS (Inksupply.com) Ultratone Quad inkset. You can achieve a tone that is variable between very cool and very warm (but not a true sepia) with these inks. The only problem I find is occasional nozzle clogs, especially when I have gone several days without doing a print. To keep this from happening, I try to print "something" (for example a small ink-separation pattern) every day or two. Perhaps even a daily nozzle-check would work. If your printhead clogs up badly, though, it can be a big mess trying to get it cleaned. And replacement printheads are very difficult to find. MIS also sells the empty carts and other filling supplies. I hope you find QTR to fit your printing needs. It's a great program and well worth the shareware price. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it's not too bad. If you have a simple reflective densitometer, creating your own custom curves is a snap. You can do it by with a good scanner, or even by eyeball, though those take quite a bit more effort (and luck, too). Best of luck!
