QTR-Quadtone RIP

I was given a set of what I was told were UT inks that I planned to
use in an Epson 1160.  I ordered a few sets of new, empty cartridges
in anticipation of filling them with the inks.

It turns out the free inks are UT-2 for the six color printers.  

Can I use any of these in the 1160?  Perhaps omitting the light cyan
and light magenta positions?   I'm willing to experiment.

If so, which three inks go into what positions on the 1160 cartridge.

Thanks,

Larry

The UT (aka UT1) inkset for the 1160 had a single cool toner and 3 carbons.
With the UT2, the K and dark carbon (M) are the same as in the UT.  The
light UT2 carbon (LM) is probably close enough that it could be used as the
light carbon in the 1160.  Whether the light UT2 toner (LC) is enough to
neutralize the dark carbon is uncertain.  I'd try it as is first.  You want
the weakest toner needed in order to hold down the visibility of the dots.
If the LC is not enough by itself, then I'd mix it with the dark toner (C)
until it is just strong enough.

Thank you, Paul.  I'll try the dark carbon, light carbon and light toner 
as you suggest.

One last question.....do you, or anyone else, know what order these inks 
are in for the 1160 cartridge?   Yellow position, cyan position and 
magenta position?

Larry

Larry,

 

The UT1 inkset had the toner in Y, light carbon in M, dark carbon midtone in
C, and, of course, the black in the usual spot.
