Re: [Digital BW] RE: 1400 won't recognize MIS Eboni- cartridges

2014-01-01 by <paulmwhiting@...>

PW: I do have two versions of K-0-40 one with and one without the Black Boost...

PR: There should not be a black boost in the K-0-40 curve.
PW: I've deleted the one with Black Boost. I made that one when I didn't know what I was doing.

PW: both show Dmax for several steps on the black end of the step file.

PR: I don't know why your 1400 with Eboni MK would hit its dmax on PA 205 at such a low level.
PW: You'll recall that my initial problem was getting my MIS carts to be recognized by my 1400. (I returned them but haven't heard back from MIS yet - and after all it is the holidays.) When the Cone carts arrived I was eager to test for recognition so I loaded them the simplest way possible, and used your PDF "Easy Mixing & Setup for Carbon-6". Do you suppose that's the cause of my DMax and solarization troubles? I'll mix up the full-blown version of Carbon 6 and use that from now on.

PW: Of course the original set of MIS carts have Eboni-6 installed, I thought it best to get the factory mix of inks first. I am using the Epson driver, btw, not QTR just yet. And a nozzle check shows all jet firing. I sure hope it's not a defective printer...

Happy New Year to you!
