Digital BW, The Print

I have been using Cone pigments (K3) in a 1400 for more than two years. 
They work all the time every time and I am very pleased with this 
inkset. The "canned" profiles that are supplied with the inks are right 
on!!!. I had some "custom" profiles made and just by way of seeing how 
close the Cone profiles were I printed an image using both profiles on 
the same paper and was amazed at how much better the Cone profile was. 
The color fidelity was plainly better, shadow color detail was better, 
instead of the shadows sinking into a dark monochrome they were alive 
with the colors I was seeing on my monitor.

I have used MIS pigments and for my money there is no comparison, the 
Cone Color inks are an order of magnitude better in all respects.

It is important to get the carts that Cone sells for the 1400 they work 
great, I had used some other carts and they caused me nothing but 
trouble to the point that I was considering abandoning the 1400 but I 
switched to the Cone carts and they hit the ground running and I have 
not looked back since!

A note about auto re-setting carts. When I run low on an individual ink 
in this printer I refill all of the carts and use a chip re-setter (also 
sold by Cone) to reset all of the chips at the same time. In this way 
there is just *one*  cleaning cycle (using expensive inks to clean the 
print head) when I am finished refilling the carts.

Hope this helps

Cheers
