Is it possible to mix Claria colour inks to make a neutral grey ink?
2015-10-02 by nigglefish@...
I was wondering if anyone had experimented with mixing Claria C, M and Y outside of the printer to make a neutral(ish) grey ink. I was thinkig of using the Claria K, the mixed grey and a diluted grey to make a BW inkset. I know poeple have experimented with diluting the Claria K and reported fading problems. From what I can piece together the K is only really stable in the long(ish) term when it is at maximum density. The Epson drivers certainly seem to only use it at high densities. But it seems that the colour inks aren't affected by this weaknes. But I have no idea what the effect of mixing these inks together might be in terms of ink stability in the carts/bottle or print stability. Or in any other terms. Does anyone have any information or experience mixing such a grey ink and diluting it?
