Re: [Digital BW] Eboni v1.1 - Dmax - Problem

2016-02-01 by Paul Roark

The 1400 and 1900 both use 1.5 pl droplet min. size, but they may well print differently.

I've posted the LAB results for 30% K Eboni in the 1400 and 7800 on Epson Hot Press Natural. These are from the 100% Calibration mode prints done with early STS batches of the wj1082, which is the Eboni input. These would be Eboni v. 1.1. I included in the materials the data sent in the link noted above in this thread.


The 1400 v. 7800 show the differences between printer types. The data in the above link is different than either. Note the Lab B numbers. The paper does not look the same either.

Yes. 1430 is a 300 dollar printer . . . head tech is very different than the R1900, so curves (either direct Piezo .quads or descriptors, etc.) must reflect that different dot size in the K.

I can tell you that the the 1430 and 1900 are quite different. I tried using Piezography K6 curves from the 1430 in the 1900 and they were way too light. Piezography curves, both K7 and P2 (K6) from the x880 printers work just fine in the 1900 (and 2000), once you reorder the contents of the .quad files to reflect the order of the ink shades in the 1900. So the head technology in the 1900 is quite different to the 1430 but identical to the K3 printers. If that's true for the 1430, then I suspect that it';s also true for the older 1400/1410 models as well.

The 1900 should print much like the 1400, for which I have data.
