I have 2 Epson 1280 printers with one being used for color and the
other for BW. The black ink in the color is dyebase and the BW is
pigment ink. I had a problem with the color images developing a
greenish cast and I thought I had found the solution, but the problem
cropped up again. I used PrintFixPro to redo the paper/ink/printer
profile with no satisfactory solution as the result. Just out of the
blue I decided to put the pigment black cartridge into the color
printer, and lo and behold it made a difference. I use Eboni pigment
ink from MIS for my BW printing, and I guess also now for the color
work. Does anyone have any experience over a long period of time with
the combination of pigment and dyebase inks creating a problem for the
waste pads and printer? I'm still very new (green) at using color
after working BW for almost 40 years but am getting excited over color
when the image benefits from it. I now print less BW and I suppose
that printer will need some tender loving care to get it functioning
properly again.

PS. I suppose I'll need to create a paper/ink/printer profile for the
pigment/dyebased now to get more accurate color.
