Can MIS UT2 Color Position Inks Be Used In an R1800 Eboni-6/K8 setup?

I only ask because my Epson 1280 is dead and I have surplus UT2 inks, Magenta, Light Magenta, Cyan and Light Cyan.

Can I use these in a R1800 K8 setup, can QTR handle this?

How different are UT2 inks from K8 R1800 inks?

Cheers,
Johnny

Yes.

Not my area, but I'd say QTR can handle such an inkset fine.  But you'd probably be on your own for the profiles.

Very different, aside from the Eboni MK.  If those are old inks, be sure they've been agitated.  It they are too old, I'm not sure I'd risk a printer on them.

Paul, thanks again!

These inks are about two months old and expire 11/23/11. I vigorously shake all my inks at least once a month.

I will give it a go, and see how they work.

Cheers,
Johnny
